Follow-Up Report on Assisted Living Facilities Serving Residents with Severe Mental Illnesses

Report 98-27, December 1998




Report Summary

  • Since our prior report, the Legislature has taken actions to avert the risk of displacing residents of assisted living facilities (ALFs) who have severe mental illnesses.
  • State agencies involved with ALFs that serve mental health residents reported continuing concerns, some of which are currently the subject of further study or rule revision. These include the identification of mental health residents, the operations and impact of the program that provides partial financial support to mental health residents, and the adequacy of resources to support community placements for mental health residents.
