My husband 91, is in Memory Care facility, not even 2 weeks and they put him on Quetiapine 50 mg day. I go to visit him he is in bed or in his recliner, completely out, hardly talks, goes back to sleep. Yesterday they had a wheelchair in his room, they told me he had a hard time walking. His problem is that he is touching women, I told them about this, they told me they can handle this problem, many old man has this problem, but they didn't tell me about they are going to medicate him completely.
Is this normal hep for this problem for an old man. He needs physical therapy,
but if he is too week he can't even stand, can it be helpful?
Ask the floor supervisor what the behavior management plan is for him.
Whether medicated or not, sleep patterns often change when a new resident enters residential care, and medications act very differently from individual to individual.
You are a diligent spouse. Give the staff enough time to get his behavior challenge under control.
