Relocating people with intellectual disability to new accommodation and support settings: Contrasts between personalized arrangements and group home placements

This study provided a unique comparison of three accommodation and support options for persons with intellectual disability. From the information gathered – mostly from the people supported themselves – the new living arrangements seemed to produce better outcomes for them compared to the lives of their peers who continued to live in congregated settings. This confirms much of the international literature reviewed and people who moved to personalized arrangements generally seemed to fare better than those who moved to group homes.
