Dov:
When my father was living at home with a full time aid he would walk the halls in the middle of the night. Neighbors (there were eight apartments on the floor in a cooperative building in Queens, New York) would complain because he made noise etc.
We changed the lock on the door so that a key was needed to exit; that didn’t work because it upset him and could not be managed.
Eventually, he had to move to a nursing home where he was attended to by better trained staff, who know how to communicate better. With medication and a trained staff he was more social and his life was more fulfilled.
