Abstract
SynopsisThe present study examined the utility of a new hospital-hostel with low staffing levels. Results showed that the hostel was able to maintain 9 of the 10 initially transferred patients and has been able to provide some improvements in their quality of life. However, unlike highly staffed hospital-hostels, it was not able to decrease patients' disabilities. Implications of this are discussed in relation to staffing levels and practices.
