Theres a mixture. Most people suffer with psychosis but it's controlled. It's medium supported housing so no one is severely ill.
How often do you see the social worker?
We have staff here that have to check in on us at least once a day. (it's medium supported housing so 9:30 am to 9:30pm. I see them often as they supervise my meds so i have to go down to the office twice a day.
Were you allowed pets?
Sadly not.
Chances of having to share a place with a heroin addict or alcoholic?
Everyone here has a 'self contained flat'. There is someone who is an alcoholic but it doesn't effect anyone else in anyway.
Do most people share a house or have there own flats?
'self contained flat/studio flat'
Did you wait long to get into the housing?
I was in hospital before I moved here.
did you have problems with people you had to share with if you shared?
There is one lady here who is a nuisance but I just try to avoid her.
Did you find it beneficial
I've found it hugely beneficial.
