There are other services within the FMHS framework for the mentally retarded, and disruptive or aggressive people are generally kept in hospitals, where they can be more closely supervised, said Sunstrom.

OTHER PROBLEMS not settled by the staff, besides the lack of volunteers, includes the trasportation problem. "That is our biggest problem i now." said Sundstrom. The service has only one ten- seat bus for a four county area.

Previously, the only a member was Sarah Huffman. The only part of the program not yet fully implemented is follow-up evaluation, which would include a formal record of all patients who leave the service. This is now done on a limited and informal basis through consultation with counselors still dealing with the patients and through doctors. EACH STAFF member keeps daily progress notes on his assigned patients, and complies a progress summary on each patient weekly. These become a part of the patient's permanent file.
