No I definitely would not take him home for a visit. This could set off some triggers you may not be prepared to deal with. Ultimately you will have to take him back to MC and this may cause more anger and agitation. I would suggest having him evaluated by his doctor with these new behaviors you are describing. He may need to change meds to help with the paranoia and anger issues. Good luck to you!

I don’t think the solution is more medication !!!!
hubby wants to go home … that’s a very real request … wouldn’t you ???
when my hubby did ask same … I was very honest… said I couldn’t take good care of him at home … it was dangerous stairs falls .. meds not regulated properly… Visits to GP’s useless … it was hard to convince because they’ve lost ability to think logically…. But he came to realize that was true… and MC provided all the care we couldn’t at home no matter all the aides !!!
Also it was lonely and boring at home … few visitors after initial drive bye’s… visit as much as you can .. let him know you haven’t abandoned…
continue outings … bring treats …
some do well with occasional visits home … I didn’t think my husband would .. do whatever you think right.
but I surely wouldn’t cut back visits !!!! Tell him you don’t like situation either but ‘we have to make best of it’ … you know LO best so do whatever to cut down on their anxieties and confusion!!
best luck
