Group homes are the dominant form of residential accommodation for
people with severe learning or intellectual disabilities, and yet
there are significant problems within these living environments.
This book seeks to highlight the key issues for both residents and
staff, and offers practical suggestions for improving community
living. Based on original empirical research and drawing on
extensive field notes, the book paints a picture of life in group
homes today. The authors propose a framework for increasing
community presence and participation, and consider the barriers to
be overcome if progress is to be made in achieving these key goals.
The notion of 'homeliness', the challenge of maintaining a balance
between individual and group needs and the concept of practice
leadership are all explored. Group Homes for People with
Intellectual Disabilities is essential reading for anyone working
with people with learning or intellectual disabilities in
residential services, as well as academics and students of
disability studies, social work and health and social care
programmes.
