Abstract
Demographic predictions indicate that there will be between 174,300 and 194,200 people in Australia experiencing dementia of the Alzheimer's type by the year 2006. At present, 60% of those who make up the resident population in nursing homes and aged-care units in psychiatric hospitals suffer from dementia. To explore the place of people with dementia in a mental health setting, a comprehensive review of the literature was undertaken and the results compared with the outcomes of an ethnographic study of a unit for confused older people.
