My sister was moved to another nursing home closer to family a few weeks ago , but has declined quite a lot .
Her behaviour is quite aggressive and very agitated ,
They have started her on 2 medications and have said they will see how she goes with it and if it doesn't make any difference she will have to go to a different place where they can deal with her issues.
She has escaped 7 times and has put the carer's in danger after trying to get her back as it is a very busy road a few yards from the care home.
They are really lovely caring people and have gone out of the way to cater for her, but she is obsessed with going home, and we can't get her off the subject , so we give her a few minutes to see if she stops, if not we say bye to her and leave, this may sound a bit harsh but if we cant change the subject it will nearly always escalate .
They have 2 mental health people involved and are doing all they can.
Has anyone in the forum ever had this happen where the home can't deal with the behaviour and their loved one has to be moved on.
They are so concerned as it isn't a secure unit and they are worried about her safety ,
