Abstract: The Government's White Paper on community care has drawn attention to the importance of assessing changes in a person's well-being which occur as a consequence of clinical and social interventions. In the UK the evaluation of the quality of life of people with chronic mental illness is relatively new. This case study demonstrates the use of the 'Lancashire Quality of Life Profile' in routine clinical practice with reference to residential changes in the 'care programme' of a person with a long history of a severely disabling psychotic illness. The formulation and review of his care plan were determined by a network of agencies involved in his long term care.
