Background and Objectives: We sought to obtain data about the prevalence of dementia in rural nursing homes in Germany.Methods: We conducted our data between 2007 and 2009 in the diocese of Passau, Germany. By using a questionnaire we asked all nursing homes in the area to provide information about patients with dementia. We obtained detailed data from three nursing homes by personal visits, telephone calls and mail.Results: Out of 72 nursing homes, 40 provided the requested data. The 40 facilities included in our study house a total of 3,928 residents, 1,892 of whom are diagnosed with dementia (48%). Three nursing homes provided us with more detailed information.Conclusions: We conclude that the prevalence of dementia in nursing homes in Germany is comparable to those rates reported in other countries. As there is a lack of information globally on rural populations affected by dementia, further international research in this area will give important insights into the risk factors, the variables influencing the course of the disease, and the special care needs of this population.
