Supplementary material for: "Typology of Dementia-Specific Care Units: A Nationwide Survey Study in Germany"

This is a dataset and R code of statistical software R version 4.2.1 (2022-06-23) to develop a typology focusing on dementia-specific care units in German nursing homes.

The dataset is based on a national survey. For this purpose, 2020, a stratified, randomized sample of 134 care units was included. A telephone interview with facility managers and a standardized questionnaire were used to collect 28 organization-specific variables, which were analyzed as constituent variables for a typology. In addition, the dataset contains seven variables on nonpharmacological interventions (Drugs, Pain, Behavior, Training, Expert, DCM, Music), a variable on "Provider of the nursing home" (Provider) and the variable (sub-question) about "Admission criteria for residents contractually regulated with cost bearers" (Criteria) that were queried for the care units to analyze associations related to typology.
