Abstract

This article compares and contrasts state regulations regarding minimum standards for the establishment of Special Care Units (SCUs). A case study approach is then used to assess the criteria for two special care units in Iowa (which requires licensure) and two special care units in Illinois (which does not require licensure). The article concludes with implications for family consumers and health care professionals related to placement decisions, research, policy development and consumer education.
