Senator Speaks For Mental Health Care In Community More mental health care should be shifted to com munity-based programs with some state mental health buildings made available for other uses. Sen. Jack Schaffer, Cary, told members of the McHenry County Association for the Retarded at the organization's annual meeting recently. Sen. Schaffer, member of a major state commission that has vital responsibility for the developmentally disabled, said state institutions have a high level of personnel and costs than a decade ago, with one- fifth to one-sixth the number of clients. Explaining he believes community-based institutions can do a better job of caring for the needs of the develop- mentally disabled, Sen. Schaffer said some state financing now being used for state mental health institutions should be channeled to the community-based programs. "I am committed to this type program because I believe in it. I think highly of your unit in McHenry county and ap preciate the fact you people contact me regularly with your views. Your executive director, Bob Lambourn, and your president, Dixie Meyer, are effective lobbyists in behalf of j better service to the developmentally disabled." As if to accent Sen. Schaffer's philosophy, Lambourn told annual meeting participants f the board is negotiating with a Woodstock facility with the possiblity of acquiring it for a 24-hour care program-a program for those people unable to live in the Community Living program such as the association now has in the former Marian Central con vent." If the Woodstock facility is acquired, state funds would provide virtually all the fun ding for this not-for-profit program Sen. Schaffer. member of the Illinois Commission on Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities, said a critical situation exists for correctional institutions and possibly some of the state mental health facilities could be transferred to that department. He cited such possible programs as retraining centers, work- release centers and minimum security type situations.
