This is why asylums should not have been closed in the US. An asylum, when carefully and humanely run, is exactly the kind of place where the self can heal, or where the incurable can find respite.

Not necessarily. For one its simply impractical to offer free services in a society that isnt based on such a concept of free. This is a capitalist society. Whether one likes it or is against it, the design of things here prevents altruism for altruisms sake. Someone MUST pay, the flow of capital expects a return. Also nursing homes have no better of a reputation as the asylums except where the most obvious most heinous offenses are ommitted. But to be honest the institutional setting carries pitfalls as well which do not lend themselves towards cure or resolution but other issues further compounding the probem.
I pray you get the healing you need there.
