To maintain the therapeutic milieu on Special Care Units for people with dementia, admission and discharge criteria are often developed. Experience at one facility over 24 months revealed frequent intra-institutional transfers of residents from the DSCU. The effects of frequent intra-institutional moves in a nursing home on the residents, caregivers, and family members must be questioned.
