In an uncontrolled qualitative single-case study, several core themes of deinstitutionalization are explored in depth. The transition from hospital to group residential home is tracked for one older woman, with a focus on some of the barriers to effective relocation. Several unresolved questions remained, including the extent to which individual and group need are met in a single setting with limited resources. Some of the limitations of this research method are identified and explored.
