Regression when moved out of familiar surroundings

[Guest guest]

I'm hoping someone can help me. My MIL developed a UTI and had some bleeding, so

she was moved from the assisted living facility to the hospital for tests. She's

been in hospital for two weeks now. She hasn't been moved back to her facility

because she is not cooperating with hospital staff with things such as getting

out of her wheelchair, etc. Now the facility wants to bring her back but move

her into the nursing section and not back to the assisted living section. They

say it's because of her regression. I have read many times in this group about

people with LBD regressing when moved from familiar surroundings but recovering

when moved back. We want the facility to put her back where she was, the

assisted living, then evaluate her after a few days. She was doing very well

until she went into hospital.

Does anyone know of a good article on the subject? We'd like to give it to the

facility to back up what we believe - that the regression has been caused by her

being in unfamiliar surroundings. Even emails if you have experienced this would

be very helpful.

Thank you,

Donna
