    Abstract:
    Medical, social, legal, and economic factors have placed constraints on hospital-based care for the mentally ill. Ready and consistent access to alternatives to inpatient care will become a critical element in the delivery system as more acutely ill and disabled patients have to be managed outside hospitals. This article describes types of community residences and their use as alternatives to hospitalization.
