The costs, nature and benefits of residential supports were examined for 20 adults with severe and complex disabilities living in newly built residential campuses and 20 adults living in small community-based dispersed housing schemes. Results indicated that participants living in dispersed housing schemes enjoyed a significantly greater quality of care and quality of life than participants living in residential campuses. The total costs of provision in dispersed housing schemes were greater than the total costs of provision in residential campuses. These differences were accounted for by greater direct staffing costs in the community-based services.

Community-based support offers many benefits when compared with other residential options. However, a recent research study has shown that it falls far short when judged against the aspirations of the move to community, or the quality of life of many people who do not have a learning disability. Reports on the findings and argues that the issue should be central to policy and practice agendas in the next century.
