@sarab26 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! You’ve come to the right place! This discussion group has an amazing group of members, as I’m sure you will find out.
The family is telling you that your husband gets agitated and disruptive after he has gone for a nice day with you? How do they know? What has the staff told you about his behavior after the outings? Maybe you could set up a meeting with the staff to discuss the situation. Remember, you are your husband’s advocate!
If you could no longer take him out, because the staff said he was disruptive, what do you think you would do instead? Does the facility have any access to the outdoors?

This person is not my husband, but a family member. I do not have the POA and they will not allow the memory care unit give me any information. Most of the information I hear are blanket statements. I do not trust the staff at the unit. I believe they are over medicating the residents. There are red flags all over the place, and yes, they have been reported to the state. There is a small outdoor patio, enclosed by the walls of the building. It is overgrown, with a large tree and a lot of weeds, filled with dead leaves from last fall. I can take him out there, but it is not comfortable or inviting. I’m just wondering if others take their loved ones at for short periods of time.
