The rehabilitation service for West Gloucestershire utilises a range of facilities to accommodate the long-term severely mentally ill. Group homes, supported lodgings, long-stay rehabilitation hostels and an inpatient slow stream rehabilitation ward provide increasing degrees of support according to levels of dependency. The findings of this study support the use of the Clifton Assessment Procedures for the Elderly Behaviour Rating Scale (CAPE BRS) as an aid to assessment of appropriate placement for the long-term severely mentally ill of all age groups in the community, both at the time of placement and to monitor ongoing need.
