    Author: Kingdon D, Turkington D, Malcolm K, Szulecka K, Larkin E.
    Journal: Br J Psychiatry; 1991 Jan; 158():113-7. PubMed ID: 1901748.
    Abstract:
    Eighteen long-stay patients from an old county asylum moved into hospital hostels. After 12-24 months, there were significant reductions in overall symptoms, as rated by the CPRS and the Krawiecka scale, as well as in deviant but not general behaviour, rated by the REHAB scale. Six later moved to live in supported accommodation. All relatives and patients who expressed an opinion to an independent assessor were satisfied with their present accommodation or wished to move to more independent living.
