Abstract

The success in this program was defined in terms of staying out of the hospital or in not regressing to a more intensive level of care requirement. By these criteria, we have been successful. Nine chronic patients have lived in the group home. Of these nine, two have become totally independent, five live in the group home, one went to a family care home, and one to a nursing home due to physical disease. Not one of the group is in a psychiatric institution, and only one had a setback. Presently, plans to expand this program with the assistance of a community group are being formulated.
