(Examples include but are not limited to mental illness requiring long-term institutionalization, acquired or congenital mental retardation, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, severe Alzheimer's disease or dementia of any etiology, and debilitating cerebrovascular disease.)
8. Acute or subacute neurologic deficit that is expected to make the patient incapable of living independently after hospital discharge due to cognitive deficits.
