I think you answered your own question. He is 83 nd has serious physical problems and behaviors - and he has Alzheimers and it can be most difficult and pure hell to take care of them as they get worse. If this man is sick, and he sounds quite ill, I would not keep him away from the hospital. Once they release him, they have to put him somewhere. If you insist, you'll get him back. But my question is this......with Alzheimer's, and it will get worse, what will happen to you as I doubt you are a bouncy 20 year old. Are you prepared for what this entails? Personally, given age and mental issues, I think he would be safer in a facility where he can be cared for; you have a normal life; and you can visit and be with him otherwise. Please think about it. It is not safe like it is described above.

My humble opinion is only if they let you stay with him every minute and for every test. I used to have to fight with them to not put an iv in Mom's arm. They will try every thing possible to put an iv in when it is not necessary because they are told to do this at all costs. If you are not there it will be a horrible situation for him. Please let us know what you decide. Can you get him on hospice quickly so they will come to your home to check on him? You have to be careful with them too because they seem to want to give the death cocktail of atavan and morphine. I am wishing you and your Sweetie the best and dont forget to give him lots of hugs.
