| dc.description | In 2005 the Inspectorate inspected all 24-hour supervised residences under the care of the mental health services, of which there were 127. The list of these residences was provided by the Health Service Executive. The main findings of inspections of these 24-hour supervised residences in 2005 were: There were approximately 1700 residents in 24-hour supervised residences. There were only a small number under the care of rehabilitation and recovery teams (only six teams nationally). There was a lack of available accommodation for residents who were ready to be discharged from 24-hour supervised residences. The majority of residences were too large, having up to 20 residents, some with up to 30 residents. A significant number were located in isolated areas. There was little input from the multidisciplinary team. Establishment of these residences was related to hospital closure rather than rehabilitation. In conclusion, the majority were long-stay wards in the community. | en_US |
