Broken Homes: A Final Destination. / Clifford J. Levy. - New York Times, 2002. - SIRS Enduring Issues 2003. Article 31. Health, 1522-323X; .
Articles Contained in SIRS Enduring Issues 2003. Originally Published: Broken Homes: A Final Destination, April 28, 2002; pp. 1+.
"A yearlong reporting effort by The New York Times, drawing upon more than 5,000 pages of annual state inspection reports, 200 interviews with workers, residents and family members, and three dozen visits to the homes show that many of them have devolved into places of misery and neglect, just like the psychiatric institutions before them. But if The Times's investigation found that the state's own files over the years chronicled a stunning array of disorder and abuse at many of the homes, it discovered that the state has not kept track of what could be the greatest indicator of how broken the homes are: how many residents are dying, under what circumstances and at what ages." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article addresses the deteriorating conditions of New York state psychiatric facilities and details "the first full accounting of deaths of adult home residents" conducted by The New York Times.
