Eloise, another safety resource could be to call the non-emergency line for your local police or sheriff. When you can speak freely, explain to them his medical situation and the concerns you have. They will note your calls and should you need to call 911 for emergency help, they will be informed about his capabilities. In our county there is an app to use for this.

Additionally, when he is having a bad day, in a rage, acting out….if you can record video and audio of this it could be helpful to substantiate the danger of his behavior.

If your husband has Medicare, you can always refuse to have him discharged. That is a part of the "The Patients' Bill of Rights" and can be found posted on the wall of every hospital.

Legally, they can not kick him out.
