My FIL has recently been moved from a Care Home which had a secure dementia floor to a specialised dementia care home. He has no short term memory now and a few non related health problems.
He shouts a lot - usually 'Help!' during the day and night.
He has been in his new care home for about 3 weeks, so it's still very early days, and the staff are trying to find out why he's shouting. MIL (who doesn't really understand dementia) is getting very anxious about his shouting and thinks they will say they can't cope with him.
He is currently having some blood tests done because he says he's in pain.
Does anyone have any experience of shouting and if so what was the reason? -pain / dementia?
