An evaluation is provided of an intensively-staffed, community-based day service for people with profound mental handicaps and additional special needs. A matched-subject control group design was employed, in which the client outcomes of the new service were compared with those of a special care unit. Variables studied included: extent and focus of individual planning; community presence; nature, variety, and age-appropriateness of activities; and levels of engagement. The community-based model proved superior to special care provision on the majority of outcome measures. The data are discussed in relation to the financial costs of the respective services.
