State to close three mental health facilities cites bed shifts
IDHS spokeswoman Januari Smith said fiscal year 2011 data show 521 acute and extended care beds with 9,948 admissions. Closures shift resources to forensic care, reduce civil beds, and push acute civil patients to Madden Choate centers or community care amid funding gaps of about 100 million dollars. Local hospitals warn of higher crisis demand and placement difficulties as communities adjust.
