A psychiatric ward in a general hospital might be suitable for people with dementia because of the comprehensive medical care available. The aim was to investigate the characteristics of 86 patients with dementia admitted to psychiatric ward in a general hospital. About 40% of the patients were admitted due to a diagnosis of dementia and the need for treatment of a physical disease. The expected roles of psychiatric ward in a general hospital for patients with dementia include the acute care of physical and psychological problems and a differential diagnosis.
