Yes, in a small proportion. The psychiatric reform in Brazil that happened in the last few decades reduced substantially the number of psychiatric hospitals, especially those that kept patients living there for many years. However, there are still some mental hospitals that continue to serve as residence for people with mental health that may include people living with dementia.
