Reminds me of the movie "50 First Dates"...
I often wondered how to handle such a situation without traumatizing the affected person every single morning. Truly one of the few rom-coms that left a lasting impression (on me).
Then it recognizes faces of visitors and maintains backstories on them, senses the distance from base reality the patient is responding in, and then keeps the patient on track and managing their condition with the least possible suffering.
It seems horrific, but also humane in some cases.
