...alarming number of the residents in assisted-living facilities are suffering from mental illness, according to a new study by Indiana University. In a four-state survey of 2,100 seniors living in these increasingly popular elder-care facilities, physicians found that fully two-thirds of the residents exhibited behaviors ranging from aimless wandering and hoarding to more serious signs of dementia, depression and psychosis.

Similar signs of mental instability are found in 50% to 80% of those...

Meanwhile, a Mawurndjul survey is planned for Basel's Museum der Kulturen next year...
