Hello statue-ga ,
My search returned the following results for quality of life research
reviews in addressing people with severe mental illness in
residential care. Given that very few of these reports are freely
available I am including information for the subscription or purchase
of these articles where available. The others can be found at the
University libraries with the journal title, month, year and volume
information I am providing. Each listing includes a brief excerpt
taken from the online abstract.

Quality of life of persons with severe mental illness living in an
intermediate care facility
Rachel L. Anderson 1 *, Dan A. Lewis 2
“This study examined resident characteristics, clinical factors, and
mental health service utilization associated with quality of life
(QOL) for residents living in an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF).
This study also utilized published literature to compare the QOL of
ICF residents to persons with psychiatric disorders living in other
residential settings. (..) Also, a comparison of the QOL scores
reported by ICF residents to other published mentally ill populations
suggests that residents of the ICF report somewhat higher QOL scores
than state hospital patients, but lower scores as compared to other
community samples.”

Quality of life, loneliness, and social contact among long-term
psychiatric patients.
Borge L, Martinsen EW, Ruud T, Watne O, Friis S.
“OBJECTIVE: Long-term patients who resided in county-operated
psychiatric nursing homes in a county in Norway as of November 15,
1989, were visited by researchers in 1996 to assess how they perceived
their living situations and how they had adjusted to a large reduction
in county psychiatric beds during the six-year period.
(..)
CONCLUSIONS: Most long-term patients who had moved out of psychiatric
institutions were satisfied with their living situation and reported a
relatively high quality of life.”

A comparison of community-dwelling older schizophrenia patients by
residential status
“Objective: Differences in residential status may contribute to the
diversity of findings observed in community-based samples of patients
with schizophrenia. We compared older out-patients living
independently with those in assisted-care facilities.”
(..)
Conclusion: Among schizophrenia out-patients, one needs to consider
residential status in evaluating heterogeneity in cognitive
performance or quality of wellbeing.

Are needs and satisfaction of care associated with quality of life?
An epidemiological survey among the severely mentally ill in the
Netherlands by Durk Wiersma, Jooske van Busschbach
“Is the quality of life of severe mentally ill patients influenced by
the intensity of the care provided, their satisfaction with services
and/or the amount of unmet needs? The interrelatedness of these three
outcome measures was investigated in a sample of 101 patients
dependent on long-term psychiatric care in the Northeast of the
Netherlands.
(..)
Quality of life was unrelated to satisfaction with services but was
strongly associated with unmet needs in the area of mental and
physical health, and of rehabilitation. Quality of life decreased as
needs increased. Needs were also strongly related to diagnosis and
cognitive functioning. Furthermore, more intensive care settings were
provided as needs increased.”

Whereas forty years ago those patients needing assistance were

Here we examine the quality of life experiences of psychiatrically
