@edj1950 It is so sad. I’m sorry for you and me and everyone in our shoes and the shoes of our loved ones.
They are still trying to figure out the best medicine for my husband. They have had to give extra klonopin this week and he can barely walk but without it he pushes people and is totally inappropriate.
If the staff were better trained in deescalation and redirection they wouldn’t need as much medication but I guess that’s not reality.
He has been in the memory care three months now and has had one week in the psych unit in between.
Hang in there. It may take months for your wife to settle. I hope you are able to leave and let go a bit but this is so hard. My heart goes out to you❤️
