The answer is - He lived in a foster home with a family that treats him kindly

Explanation:

During the renaissance in the 14th to 16th century, there was a rise in humanism and emphasis on human welfare. Instead of locking mentally ill patients away, a new school of doctors promoted the idea of asylums which were huge, sun-filled, well ventilated and asserted that things like rest and taking a human approach would improve the prognosis of individuals that were mentally ill.

This brought up a family care program, restraints were not used on the patients, the patients were placed in the care of a family and staff to proper monitor them. Patients were called boarders as it describes a social role in the community. This enabled them to be able to be provided the proper care, attention and love they deserved and to be accepted for who they were. In the 1400s, in Gheel, Belgium Anton who was mentally ill lived in a foster home with family that treats him kindly.
