Abstract
Synopsis: Chronic in-patients from a sample population of 48 women and 43 men were selected for an experimental hospital-hostel and for local authority hostels. Two-thirds were found suitable for the former but only a sixth for the latter. The problems of selection for and management at the experimental hostel are described, and the overall results discussed in relation to recent proposals for the residential care of chronic patients.Keywords
