This sounds a lot like 'rinse, wash and repeat.'
Hes been diagnosed again. He is being medicated again. Hes likely going to be released again.
We cant say that we havent seen this play before.
Now they say they're going to check up on him every day for the rest of his life. Does it not seem like it would make more sense to maintain him in an institution?

It's likely cheaper to check on him daily than to instituitionlize him. So provided you can mitigate the risk it makes sense to have him live on his own.
