This exploratory cross-sectional study examined adjustment over time of three groups of seniors with serious mental illnesses (N=33), who were transferred from a psychiatric hospital to a community residential facility from 1995-1998. The study participants had lived in the community for 6-41 months. Outcomes included measures of global, social, cognitive and ADL functioning, quality of life and rehospitalizations. Analyses revealed no significant deterioration in symptomatology, cognitive and ADL functioning between groups and a significant change in social functioning. Five participants were readmitted for short hospitalizations. Participants in all groups expressed a positive quality of life in their current community residence.
这项探索性横断面研究考察了1995年至1998年间从精神病院转至社区居住设施的三组患有严重精神疾病的老年人（N = 33）随时间推移的适应情况。研究参与者在社区生活了6至41个月。结果包括总体、社会、认知和日常生活活动功能、生活质量及再次住院情况的测量指标。分析显示，各组之间在症状学、认知和日常生活活动功能方面无显著恶化，而社会功能有显著变化。五名参与者因短期住院再次入院。所有组的参与者对其当前社区住所的生活质量均表示满意。
