Oh dear I understand. I think my situation with my brother is similar but different. He is very young and he has schizoid affective disorder along with newly diagnosed dementia. He is only 44.
Anyways, long story short he is having a problem as the care facilities are not wanting him there. He is excellent and such a great guy but has “episodes “ of agitation and anxiety that can come across scary at times. He is pretty much been living in the psychiatric ward for yrs. Poor guy went undiagnosed with the dementia for who knows how long. Anyways, the facility he was in before this latest admission to psych ward (4 months he’s been there) was a nursing care home and I just think it isn’t a good match for such a young guy …. They don’t want him back BUT the only thing that could possibly be done is for him to have his own room. But if they can’t do that then I don’t know where he’s going to go. So anyways I understand the fear of not knowing

Not sure where you live, but I got help with a similar family situation many years ago at https://www.misericordia.com/
