A residential treatment facility for the severely mentally ill, it opened in 2007 in the small town of Ashtabula, Ohio. It's home to 16 adult men, most of whom are schizophrenic, including William Stokes, who's featured in FRONTLINE's film. Mental health treatment and case management are provided on site at Bridgeview -- a rarity for a residential treatment facility.

		Slideshow	Interview - Sherri Sullivan, Bridgeview Manor Program Director
How Special is Bridgeview Manor? + Ohio's prisons hold almost 51,000 inmates and 10 percent are seriously mentally ill. + Bridgeview is the only residential home in Ohio that provides a place to live and on-site mental health treatment and case management + Most Ohio counties have one residential group home for the mentally ill that provides on-site services, but indigent clients aren't accepted. The few that accept them don't accept ex-felons. + In 2008, residential placement and housing services were requested for 2,684 Ohio prisoners set for release, and 751 -- 28 percent -- were for mentally ill offenders. + Of the total requests, 71 percent were successfully placed.
		George Ricarte, Resident An animated man who enjoys company, he has schizophrenia and a history of health problems. He lived alone in a trailer for more than 20 years. The isolated life wore on him, but he wouldn't move to Bridgeview until his aging parents insisted. They wanted him in a secure, supportive environment. George has food and beverage fixations, but now he's doing well living with others.	Dan Fuller, Resident He was first diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in college, where he was studying for a chemistry degree. Before moving to Bridgeview, Dan, 50, lived with his parents. They provided him with good care, but he was inconsistent with medication and didn't interact much with people outside his family. He is very intelligent and has become sociable with other residents, but he is delusional all of the time.
