Interestingly, this is basically what asylums were originally (back in the 1800s) before they expanded too much and became essentially just prisons for the mentally ill. There's a really great 99% invisible episode about this: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-kirkbride-plan/ https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-kirkbride-plan/ In particular, this episode goes into a lot of detail about why asylums got so big (price efficiency and scalability, basically) and why that essentially ruined the "recovery" side of treatment for the mentally ill, because things weren't personal any more.
