Data available from a recent planning project provided an opportunity to examine impairment and service needs of individuals with schizophrenia spectrum diagnoses living in a large board-and-care program. When first implemented, this minimum-support custodial program was assumed to be adequate for discharged long-term inpatients with schizophrenia and other chronic mental illnesses. However, the needs assessments indicated considerable heterogeneity in resident level of impairment. When a validated planning template was applied to assign residents to an appropriate level of care, almost one-quarter were assigned to independent living with minimal support, one-third to community living with intensive support, and 40 percent to residential or inpatient treatment. The authors conclude that this program is not able to meet the varying needs of residents. Despite a common diagnosis, many can function in more independent settings, while others need more treatment and rehabilitation than they are currently provided.
