Abstract
A fifty-four-year-old man who sustained cerebral anoxia, was admitted to our rehabilitation hospital for evaluation of his cognitive impairment and ability to acquire compensatory skills for memory dysfunction. Neuropsychological examinations revealed memory and frontal lobe dysfunction, although his intelligence quotient scores were relatively high. After a month of clinical management of memory dysfunction, he became able to manage his daily schedule in the hospital by using external memory aids. By getting compensatory skills for memory dysfunction, he showed less episodes of falling into panic. After giving this information to the staff of a center for mental health, staffs of both facilities visited his house together for environmental modifications. As a result of support by our rehabilitation hospital and the center for mental health, he became able to live in his apartment independently. The cooperation between a rehabilitation hospital and a mental health facility might be effective in helping patients with cognitive dysfunction to return to the community.
