Psychiatric care homes

These are people who:

• for psychiatric reasons require support in their daily activities, but who do not need permanent medical care

• do not need permanent physical care

• require support to promote their inclusion and participation in society

• are not, or not yet, capable of living independently. They need someone they can call on at short notice when that proves necessary.

A psychiatric care home offers these people ‘residential recovery care’.
