| Annotation | There is anecdotal evidence that people with dementia find acute hospital settings stressful, and that this can have a detrimental effect on their dementia. This supplementary checklist to "Discharge from hospital: a good practice checklist" has been prepared to help local health and social care systems to identify the specific needs of people with dementia, and to plan for the appropriate care during and after discharge from acute hospital settings.
