My father-in-law became very combative while in the hospital and the hospital hired a 24/7 aide to stay with him at no extra charge. This wasn't in the Villages but I don't think a hospital can throw him out if he's ill. UTIs can cause delirium in the elderly which may be a part of the problem. As another poster mentioned, have the wife talk to the hospital social worker to help with the situation...that's what they're there for. Best wishes.
