To ring the care home next door about mans behaviour?

[IShitGlitter]

We live next door to a care home. It is residential for men with mental health conditions, obviously I don't know what they are ect but am aware it's a home for mental health.

A few of the chaps go out and about its normally the same 3 (it's only an 8 bed care home) but one of the men can be quite intimidating at times he goes to the bottom of road sometimes talks to himself again not a problem. It's when he starts to scream at the top of his lungs about how much he hates the world its fucked up ect......I did call 101 once to report this as I was concerned for his well being and others it was a busy day plenty of children around. They sent a community officer to speak to him and as soon as they pulled up he just said hes just chilling doing nothing and had stopped shouting.

Now the last few days hes been standing outside our house kind of looking in sometimes talking to himself it's making me uncomfortable and again yesterday he was leaning against our walls just looking at the front door and windows but kind of behind the tree like he was hiding. My husband pulled in from work and seen him and he wandered off.

AIBU to ring the care home about his behaviour how do I approach them with this? I understand he can go wherever he likes ect but I do not know the capacity or capability this man has? I cant just ring up and say eh tell him to stay off our wall?

You can ring them, Not so much keep him off my wall but explain it’s making you anxious in your own home etc and the screaming is frightening. “Hoi keep him off my wall” is more likely to get an eye roll and we’ll ask him not to do it type of response. I’m not sure if they’d be able to explain his personality more to you, might put you more at ease if he’s really just a nosey bugger who peeks round everyone’s door and doesn’t realise he’s being rude/that he’s not violent or likely to cause harm/damage. Obviously there’s privacy issues etc but vague info might be ok.

Depending on the type of care the manager might not be aware he’s unsupervised, we Always had to be with someone when they’d popped out.

Yes, tell them. The supported accommodation is part of the local community and the staff will be keen to ensure the residents are not causing issues at the very least. This new behaviour could be related to becoming unwell.
I would speak to the Manager in a letting you know this is happening type of way. That's how it would be dealt with where I work and the Manager would speak to Key Workers, Mental Health Teams or whoever needs to know.

Yes tell them. You have the right to not feel intimidated.
