Dr Sam Moxon - Why Dementia Patients Deteriorate in Hospital

Dr Sam Moxon - Why Dementia Patients Deteriorate in Hospital

Dr Sam Moxon, narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Sam shares the story of his grandfather, who experienced a rapid decline in his dementia during a hospital stay. Hospital delirium, triggered by the unfamiliar environment, disrupted routines, and increased sensory stimulation, worsened his condition. Infections further accelerated cognitive decline, and antibiotics had negative effects on the gut microbiome and immune system. Sam emphasises the need for improved dementia care in hospitals to provide better support and maintain the well-being and dignity of individuals with dementia.
