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.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

Other products may also relax him. Hemp based products like delta-8-thc are federally legal, and all states except Idaho allow them to be shipped from suppliers in other states. They’re often found in convenience stores.
When you do eventually do visit, try coordinating it with some event in the facility and leave his presence before the event ends, letting the staff know that you will be scooting out.
If he continues to ask you to get him out, tell him that his doctor is the one who decides that. Then change the topic or leave.

Take a few days for yourself. He is safe and cared for. Keep your visits short and as suggested maybe right before dinner so he is distracted when u leave. Never say you are going home. My daughter always told my Mom she was going to work. The word home was never mentioned.
As for asking him to leave you will then need to find a new facility for him, it is just that simple.
I'm guessing that you didn't heed their advice and are now reaping the consequences huh?
So I guess now you can either not visit so often or make sure that you have your loved one involved in an activity before you sneak out, to keep his agitation down.
1. Before you leave get him involved in an activity or a meal. Once he is involved quietly get up and leave. Don't say anything to him, just go.
2. Try to keep the visits short and as difficult as it is don't cry or show that you are upset or sad. He may be picking up on your emotions.
3. Agitation is common with dementia so medications are commonly used. But I would think in 7 weeks they should have his medications "fine tuned" so that he should not be getting agitated. And if the medications are not "fine tuned" I would ask to talk to the doctor to determine what is going on.
(You do say in your profile ..and thank you for adding that information.. that your husband has Alzheimer's medicating for agitation should be straightforward, if he had Parkinson's and Lewy bodies that can be a little trickier to find a medication that will help with the agitation.,)
I am confused about your question...is the facility asking you to find another place for your husband?
