Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
Most old age psychiatrists see long-stay care in good quality community hospitals as an essential component of a comprehensive service for older people suffering from mental illnesses (Jolley & Arie, 1992). Yet in recent years some Health Authorities have sought to reduce or close their long-stay beds and this has caused a great deal of controversy (Alzheimer's Disease Society, 1993; Benbow et al, 1994).
