AnnotationThis article describes the development of the concept of the Special Dementia Unit (SDU) in the form of a hostel in Australia. It is not designed to replace either the conventional hostel or the nursing home; it is regarded as an added facility for a selected group of people with dementia who would be more appropriately cared for in a hostel environment. Advantages and disadvantages of such hostels are outlined.
