Nursing Homes with Dementia Special Care Units Provide Better Quality of Care

Around 750,000 individuals in nursing homes in the United States have a diagnosis of dementia, constituting 50 percent of long‐stay residents. Between 30 and 40 percent of adults across the nation with dementia reside in nursing homes, and approximately 70 percent of Americans with dementia will die in a nursing home. These high statistics beg the question- is quality better for dementia patients in a nursing home with a specialized unit focusing on their care?
