Mr. Rall, I have a close friend whose elderly father was hospitalized last January and had surgery. In the recovery he was clearly disoriented with memory problems, the staff at his assisted living place were recommending that he go for special memory care, which my friend refused, citing the effect of hospitalization on the elderly. I think she was right, as with time he is improving and functioning better. This article provided her with the ammunition to deal with the staff. Maybe it has some ideas and concepts that you might find helpful.
