They allowed my brother who has dementia and schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder to sign himself out and sleep in the woods overnight in the rain and cold temperatures and when I was contacted the next day they refused to readmit him. I picked him up they had all of his belongings in a trash bag sent me and him away with zero medication. He had been in a nursing home for 10 years prior to going here and was here for 3 weeks. Along with this episode after I took him to the behavioral health emergency department they noticed he was severely over medicated from the printout of meds they were giving him and the emergency department was not understanding why this place had him on multiple meds that should not be taken together and was causing him seizures and psychosis. He lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks because he was overdosed on meds not able to wake up and eat and missed his smoke breaks which is what upset him to discharge hisself. He knew he was going to die if he stayed. All they said to me is we can’t hold anyone as a prisoner and he is his own person. Omg the hell I’ve had to go through restarting his independent life over is unreal. Zero help from social worker she could have cared less and all of them had me lose faith in humanity. Check on your loved ones frequently.
