This study aimed to identify and assess all residential facilities that provide services to deaf people with mental health problems, and to elicit detailed information on the demography, clinical characteristics and service needs of the residents. The survey covered a total of 555 residents living in 44 centres, of whom 372 were deaf adults in the age range 16-65. Twenty facilities and 80% of their residents were assessed in more detail. Residents had high levels of functional impairment, with two-thirds having moderate or severe problems in at least one domain of personal functioning including cleanliness, cooking, shopping, use of transport and budgeting. The domains of social activity and risk of harm to self and others differentiated residents in psychiatric wards from those in staffed hostels.
