Hardly likely. Long awaited house repairs due this week. Not sure when they're coming, arranged when OH was expecting to be home to stay. He loved the male bonding and discussing the techy bits when the guy spent a whole day with us last month.
Not necessarily, you'd need to find out if the hospital has signed up for the scheme. Some hospitals have signed but are piloting on a limited number of wards.
My husband was given Lorazepam on the ward for "anxiety". It didn't make it onto his discharge notes or prescription, but is used for insomnia. With the result that he was only ever half awake, or asleep all day.....Not necessarily, you'd need to find out if the hospital has signed up for the scheme.

It's also worth considering if staying overnight is in the PWD's best interest. Wards can be extremely busy and noisy overnight so you'd need to consider how well you operate when sleep deprived. In our case, Mum is very deaf so would sleep through pretty much anything however, the same doesn't apply to me.
Unfortunately, history has shown that I don't cope well without my sleep so if in that position, I wouldn't stay unless there was threat to Mum's life.
Lorazepam is usually only prescribed for short term or occasional use. Mum is much further advanced than your husband and has a prescription for when she's extremely distressed. Over the years, I found other ways of calming so we rarely need resort to medication.
He didn't get it once he was home. I have asked, he's not getting it after being readmitted.
