More chronic mental patients reside in, and more mental health dollars go to, nursing homes than to any other single setting. Yet such care has been little studied. This article presents descriptive longitudinal outcomes from a study of such care for the outcomes of recidivism, symptomatology, social integration, and subjective well-being. The study involved interviewing and gathering data on 163 patients in a sample of 20 skilled nursing and intermediate care facilities in a major metropolitan area, and following these patients at six-month intervals for a year. Results showed a mixed picture of good and bad outcomes, and some resulting implications for the role of nursing homes in mental health long-term care are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
