My husband was placed in memory care last week after the rehab MD said he required 24-hour care. Advice?

I had been caring for him previous to that. My spouse constantly states he wants to come home and I feel guilty about that. I work full time and we have to sell our home to pay for his care because we have a lake home (small) which still has a mortgage. His family has been cruel to me and I have no support system. What do people do? Visiting my spouse makes me depressed. Today he said he’ll go on a hunger strike if I don’t take him home.

Thank you so much for your response.

Ignore the hunger strike threats. It’s on par with a small child who says they’ll run away if you make them eat veggies. If he does follow through on his threat, he’ll be sent right back to the hospital. And he’ll still have to go to rehab.

He needs to be where he is. Your home is
not safe for him.
