  • Title: Boarding home residents: new underclass in the mental health system.
    Author: Blake R.
    Journal: Health Soc Work; 1987; 12(2):85-90. PubMed ID: 3583106.
    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.
