My father is in memory care since a heart surgery in January. He has vascular dementia and delirium that comes and goes. When I find him doing well on a Friday night I either spend the night at his "condo", bring him to our house or up to the lake. Friday I took him up to our RV at the lake and we had time together just the two of us. He had maybe 3 delusional... http://www.healthcentral.com/alzheimers/c/544796/89863/birthday http://www.healthcentral.com/alzheimers/c/544796/76196/money-siblings Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:49:42 -0400 Concerned daughter My father has been in memory care since January when he had heart surgery and came out with vascular dementia and delirium.

(he thinks he works at the memory care center and his room is his condo). He did great both at the hosptial and the funeral.
