This study is a comprehensive, longitudinal assessment of the characteristics of special care patients. Demented patients in special care units (SCUs) within four nursing homes were compared with their demented counterparts in the same facilities who were not placed in SCUs. Results of this preliminary study suggest that the two groups differ in level of cognitive impairment, in behavior, and in functional and physical status. No deleterious or beneficial effects were associated with SCU residence during a 6-month period.
