Is your loved one more confused or forgetful after being discharged from the hospital?

If you're seeing new or worsening memory loss, agitation, or nighttime wandering, it's not just "getting older"—it could be post-hospital delirium or dementia flare-up.

Seattle families turn to in-home dementia care as a safer, more compassionate option—especially after a stay at Harborview, Swedish, or Virginia Mason.

Why Dementia Symptoms Often Worsen After Hospital Discharge

Hospitals are confusing even for healthy people. For seniors with cognitive decline, the chaos of a hospital stay can trigger:

• Sudden confusion, agitation, or fear

• Wandering or disrupted sleep cycles

• Difficulty following instructions or routines

• Missed medications or refusal to eat

• Withdrawal, depression, or rapid memory loss

These signs are often the result of ICU delirium, anesthesia effects, or stress—and without fast intervention, they can spiral.

💡 That’s why in-home recovery care tailored for memory support is essential in the first few days after discharge.
