MIL has vascular dementia with Alzheimer's. She is usually cared for at home by FIL who is 83 though recently it's been getting too much for him-but that's for another thread.
She was admitted to an elderly care ward at the hospital on Saturday with a chest infection. Due to her lack of capacity and erratic outbursts the hospital have insisted that a member of the family is with her 24/7. They have provided a chair next to her bed and my DH and his siblings have organised shifts but they also have full time jobs to work around.
I just wondered AIBU to think the hospital should be providing her care?

To think we shouldn't have to be with MIL 24/7 in hospital?
