i have read a lot of helpful tools to use with my spouse.
this is a major concern for me in taking care of him. one of the things he does is take off into the community. this results in someone calling 911. once he was arrested for loitering and the judge threw it out, thank goodness. i have adt in the home. what suggestions have worked for you caregivers with a similar situation to not only protect my spouse but also to help him realize he must not wander from the home without talking with me first? he hears voices a lot and i realize he often does what they tell him. we have a bracelet but it doesn't state he is schz. any suggestions on that? this is just one of my concerns but thought i'd start with this major challenge. it has been suggested that the state could intervene if he is arrested. he is non-violent. we do not want this to happen or for them to insist he be put in a lock down situation. thank you in advance for any suggestions or helpful info you can offer me. -jan

hi gram
 you are dealing with a control situation.. you may wis to allow your husband freedom, but recognize this need for physical management... it is the patient who wanders... im not experienced enough to have much info for you, but it reminds me of gramma near the end of her time at home.. she began to wander and it became a real chore.. i imagine that nursing homes or other care facilities also deal with this? hope you find something useful soon... |
