St. Bartholomew's Care Centre.
Special Containment Procedures Through Foundation opperated watchdog groups, St. Bartholomew's Care Home1 has been permanently shut down by the Minnesota Heath Service. A manufactured story consisting of resident and patient abuse has been established, and the building has been purchased by the Foundation through a shell construction company. Provisional Site-189 has been built in the former structure, designated as the main focal point for research into SCP-XXXX. Following support by both the O5 council and the Ethics Committee, the remaining residents of St. Bartholomew's Care Home have been euthanized in order to prevent memetic contagion. Remains have been buried in unmarked graves, death certificates have been forged, and surviving family members have been given class-G amnestics.
The community of Cunningham Hill had been razed.
Luther Pierce, believed to be the direct cause of SCP-XXXX, has been moved to Site-17's medical wing. It is currently placed within an artificial coma, and is given supplement nutrients through intravenous feeding tubes. Current long-term containment plans have been focused in allowing Pierce to experience a natural death. Direct contact is strictly limited, lethal force has been authorized if the subject's life is deemed in threat.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the Foundation designation given to an unstable Temporal-cognitive spacetime region localized within the former St. Bartholomew's Care Home, in Cunningham Hill, Minnesota. SCP-XXXX is believed to have originated through the deteriorating mental conditions of Luther Pierce, a class-II reality bender diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

SCP-XXXX originally originated within Pierce's room, and was localized within the confines of the bedroom. However, as Pierce's dementia progresses, SCP-XXXX's internal environment has expanded to entirety of the care-center, and is continually expanding, with no set limit.
SCP-XXXX is characterized by significant low-gravity, a population of anomalous species and environmental niches, and a rapidly changing Interior landscape. Judging by entry admissions, and a previous lack of anomalous characteristics, it is likely that SCP-XXXX was partially formed following the entry of Luther Pierce into the long-term care facility. It is also possible that other residents involuntarily contributed to the creation of SCP-XXXX, through a process of shared memories. Research is currently on-going. Current explorations sent into SCP-XXXX have shown that the region is continually expanding, at a currently unknown rate. Following the Foundation's recovery of Pierce, SCP-XXXX expansion efforts have diminished. The shrinking of the internal space is a possibility, factoring in Pierce's solitary confinement, in direct comparison toward relative freedom within the care home.
Preliminary Interview:
Prior to formal investigation and exploration into SCP-XXXX, an interview was conducted with Emily Alison, Pierce's only direct living relative. The following interview was performed under the guise of gathering information for a local newspaper article about dimentia. Subject received Class-A amnestics shortly after the interview.[[/div]]

**Preliminary Interview: **
April 17th, 1977
Dr. Harding: First off, I'd like to thank you for coming in and doing this interview with us. I talked to a group of your father's friends and acquaintances, your father sounds like he was a quite the character. I imagine he had a lot of stories growing up. You must be awfully proud of him.
Alison: Of course I am. And yes, yes, I think that's the best way I'd describe Dad. He was a character. A character all right.
Dr. Harding: Can you tell me a bit about life with Luther?
Alison: He was fun. I think that's a good way of describing him. Fun. He liked dressing up on holidays, and he'd make a big deal about being Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. Even when my sister and I were thirteen, fifteen, he would do the whole thing. He knew that we didn't believe him. It was part of the fun for him, trying to trick us. He liked civil war reenactments. Mom misguidingly thought that it was his way of dealing with being drafted, but I honestly think Dad just enjoyed doing it. There wasn't anything more to it, nothing deeper then Dad liking quirky things, I guess. He also sung in public, just joyous, outlandish singing. He did what he loved, you know?
Dr. Harding: You make mention that your dad was drafted. Was that in Vietnam?
Alison: No, definitely not. Second world war. He wasn't on the draft, during that time. He would have probably been in his late fifties then, even at the start. His… Illness got real bad at the end of it. There was no way he could have fought in that condition. I don't think he would have wanted to either. He was a pacifist after the war, but I think he justified himself in fighting after everything was out in the open. But, he still played his reenactments. Its what made him happy.
Dr. Harding: Was he often sad after the War?
Alison: I don't think sad was the right word. He had moments of sadness, nothing out of the ordinary. He was a normal guy, emotionally. Oh, he loved my mother. Just loved her. Lovers everything about her. He certainly smothered her in affection at times, and it drove a wedge between the two. Dad, for lack of a better phrase, he was too happy all of the time. Manic almost. And after he got worse, mom left for good.
Dr. Harding: Can I infer that she divorced your father?
Alison: They're divorced in every sense of the word, just not legally. Legally married, but after Dad had gotten to the point were he needed help with everything, couldn't keep his emotions in check, and would forget everything, she left. She checked him in a carehome and just left, never looking back. I resented her for that, to be frank. But part of me sympathizes with her, because I know she does love him, as does Dad. Mom just had difficulty accepting how Dad loves, and the illness was more then she could bear. It was selfishness, even if she had a point.
Dr. Harding: Emily, would you mind describing how your father acted after the positive diagnosis of Dimentia?
Alison: Yeah, I can. Its why I'm here, right? It was quiet at first, real subtle. Nothing to worry about first, like misplacing the keys. He was always clumsy! We thought nothing of it. But then he would loose his keys, and would leave the faucet on, and be unable to button his shirt right. Then the babbling. I think that was when we knew something was wrong. He just talked to himself, walking back in forth. It didn't start right away, this was all so gradual. But the babbling, and the pacing… That had been what sunk in for us that things wouldn't be okay or normal for him.
Dr. Harding: How is he at the Care Home?
Alison: Challenging, I think. He doesn't like being touched, which was another thing that changed. Getting him dressed in the morning is an ordeal. I can't tell you how many times I've had to leave work for the morning to try and talk to him and get him to put the shirt on. Then things got worse, to the point were I couldn't get him to even recognize me. I was a stranger to him.
Dr. Harding: It's okay. Take as long as you need.
Alison: No, no, I'm fine. I promise. It's just hard you know, having someone you love not remember you. I think that's part of the reason why mom left. I think the staff at the care-home have more and more difficulty with him. He's on a locked unit. Last year he wandered out of town and off into the middle of nowhere. A flight risk. That's what they called it. A fligh trisk.
Dr. Harding: Thank you for your time, Emily. Would you like to say any words of advice for family members who are dealing with dimentia in their lives?
Alison: [Extraneous Dialogue Removed.]
