Looking at the level of n non knowledge of hospital staff in caring for dementia patients while in hospital, i am so glad that i was able to spend as much time day n night seven days a week (eventually allowed by an understanding Sister) being with n caring for my wife (walking with her and feeding her) while she was in hospital, as i was there with her anytime she needed me so she didnt need to feel frightened, scared or feel alone as hospitals can be frightening places to those with dementia. More carers of partners n loved ones should be allowed the amount of access that I was allowed to be with them when they are in hospital. It can help the hospital staff who don't always have time to sit n feed them or time to walk with them, negating need to give them drugs to make them calmer or to sleep. Carers can be an invaluable help like i was as staff later told me with my wife in hospital, as there aren't always enuf staff to care for them or trained properly to care for them. ☹
