The dependency and behavioural characteristics of 1,461 elderly people in long stay geriatric and psychogeriatric wards and Part IV accommodation were surveyed. Misplacement, defined as having dependency and behaviour characteristics normally associated with admission to another form of care, was widespread, ranging from 5-51% in the different facilities visited. It was greatest in psychogeriatric wards and least in geriatric wards. In Part IV accommodation there was a significant inverse relationship between length of stay and appropriateness of placement.
对1461名长期住在老年病科和老年精神科病房以及第四部分住宿机构的老年人的依赖和行为特征进行了调查。错置被定义为具有通常与入住另一种护理形式相关的依赖和行为特征，这种情况很普遍，在所访问的不同机构中，比例从5%到51%不等。在老年精神科病房中最为严重，在老年病科病房中最少。在第四部分住宿机构中，住院时间与安置的适宜性之间存在显著的负相关关系。
