Other Questions
How do residents react to acute symptoms in other residents?
The residents have been placed in different dorms in order to prevent disturbances, i.e. a new resident would be placed in Dorm 4 together with other recent arrivals, who will also be in a severe state, and will then progress upwards to Dorm 3, 2, and finally move to Dorm 1, as his/her psychiatric status improves. The dorm system also psycho-educates the residents, sensitising them to facing mental illness in themselves and others.

What is the procedure if a resident passes away?
If possible, we inform the family at the first instance. If we are unable to locate the family, we perform the last rites and the burial.
What percentage of the residents is successfully rehabilitated and relocated?
It is difficult to give an exact estimation, as each individual case is different. Out of around 2600 residents, we have successfully rehabilitated 1200. The rest have been either referred to other organisations or relocated to the Long-Stay Home or the Group Home.
