作为五个州对痴呆症居民特殊护理单位影响的研究的一部分，作者调查了（电话随访）养老院，以确定那些维持某种形式的特殊护理单位的设施。估计患病率为11%;这一发现表明，特殊护理单位远远超过以前报道的数量。这一差别部分是由于定义上的考虑：许多设施维持的“集群单位”与隔离单位没有明显区别。然而，设施往往不把这些单位视为特殊护理单位。
As part of a five-state study of the impact of special care units for demented residents, the authors surveyed (with telephone follow-up) nursing homes to identify those facilities that maintained some form of special care unit. The estimated prevalance was 11%; this finding suggests that special care units are far more numerous than had previously been reported. This difference is due in part to definitional considerations: many facilities maintain “cluster units” that do not differ appreciably from segregated units. However, more often than not, facilities did not regard these units as special care units.
