Mental Health and Developmental facilities in particular feel the use of the term patient is demeaning for someone who has, perhaps, a personality disorder as opposed to something physiological -- they feel a stigma attaches to the word "patient". As such, most facilities have moved to something else. Among the most commonly heard are "client", "guest", and "person served".
