I am part of a group that makes quilts for leukemia patients during their hospital stay. Our quilts are 45/50 x 60/65 so they won't interfere with the workings of the hospital bed, touch the possibly dirty floor or get in the way of any nearby medical equipment.
In addition, my mother has alzheimers. I made her a "fidget quilt" which is basically a quilt with many different textures for the patient to fidget with. Some of these quilts incorporate lace, zippers, buttons etc for playing with. They must be securely attached. This type of quilt may be helpful if there is brain damage to this person.
