A couple of years ago, my 90 year old Mother was taken to the hospital because she had a fall. I stayed with her, but was informed they were probably going to keep her overnight, so I went home. An hour later, I received a call saying she was being discharged and I could pick her up. When I drove up to the pick up area, she was standing outside, all alone. My Mom has severe dementia and could have easily wondered off. I wrote the hospital about the incident and got the usual " sorry about that" response.
