Program aids institutionalized patients in re socialization efforts
A team at Anna State Hospital led by Bob Stoelzle and John Freeman has created a re socialization program for about 15 long term patients, all roughly 60 years old, aimed at preparing them for discharge to nursing homes or other non hospital settings. The group meets weekly, has toured local businesses, and shows improved social awareness, including naming other patients and dressing with more pride. The initiative may expand to two groups and considers forming a voice of the patients to attend staff meetings.
