Don't be surprised if they have a set back after the admission, even if it was the absolute best decision for them. Changing their environment can be very frightening and confusing. Plan to have shorter visits with lots of encouragement in the beginning. Change is hard for the able mind, and way more difficult when Dementia is present.
