By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

one day I came in and a really angry older woman ran up to me and told me that all the patients are tired of looking at dad exposing himself and playing with his parts. she said the patients voted to get rid of him. I was so embarrassed.
when I mentioned it to the staff they told me that this woman followed dad everywhere and sat right next to him to watch what he was doing.
My dad had a pee tube put in and he would constantly jam up the tube due to his enjoyment.
the nursing home would laugh it off.
The doctor told me that it was natural for most men to do things to themselves as daddy was.
If you need to move him to a new facility my suggestion would be to speak to the nursing home and tell them his behavior prior to placing him there. Like my dad said to me once "If you don't use it youll lose it.".....
to be honest the nurses told me my dads behavior broke up there day giving them something to laugh about....
good luck............
I hope it helps.
All the best in this challenging situation for you, your husband and those who seek to care for him.
The staff at her facility did not try to convince her otherwise. They did not argue, confirm nor deny. They ignored her when she started. Now, she never “hit on” any of the staff. At one point I did “get in her face” and told her that she needed to be a lady and ladies didn’t talk like that. It actually helped. Is it possible that your husband is acting out? Maybe becoming physical with staff?
I’ve read on this site that this is common among Alzheimer’s/dementia patients. Can you call a Care
Conference and ask for a Geriatric Psychiatrist to evaluate him? It may be as simple as a change or addition of medication.
