Abstract

Boarding homes have proliferated in recent times, spawned by the deinstitutionalization movement. This study explored the realities of living in these homes by using a quantified assessment procedure to examine their programs and policies. Findings suggest an absence of support and stimulation for the residents of homes and a need for outreach and advocacy on the part of social workers in community mental health practice.
