[Functional levels in nursing homes residents assessed by the Gottfries-Bråne-Steen scale].
Thirty-three inhabitants in a nursing home were evaluated by the Gottfries-Bråne-Steen scale. The evaluation showed that more than one third of the residents had marked dementia, especially with intellectual symptoms. The residents showed a high degree of motoric problems. It is concluded that dementia is a common cause for placement in a nursing home, although it seldom is recorded in detail as such before admission.
