How good is community care?

[debbby]

Hi everyone!

It's a pleasure to join this forum and I look forward to chatting with you all!

I am interested in schizophrenia and how well those of you with the disorder are cared for in the community. Do you feel that community care is adequate or do you feel that it was better when there were more long term hospital places available for service users?

Look forward to hearing from you
