A small flat in the grounds of a hospital was used to look at possible groupings of hospital residents, as a stage in planning their resettlement. Almost all of the residents stayed for 10 days in the flat. The exercise helped to crystallise plans, was enjoyed by most of the residents, and boosted staff morale.
