This large-scale study involved a postal questionnaire sent to 320 care units (response rate 79.9 per cent) in the Gothenburg district of Sweden. The results indicated that almost three-quarters of respondents 'often or sometimes' cared for lucid and cognitively impaired individuals in the same unit. This integration was widely seen as problematic for all parties, and examples of common issues are given. A key theme to emerge was for more staff training specific to the needs of older people with dementia. 18 references.
