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.

Using an adapted version of a projections model for younger adults developed by the Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU), this paper provides projections of demand and future public expenditure for social care and disability benefits for younger adults (aged 18 to 64) in England to 2030. Projections are broken down in the categories of: people with learning disabilities; people with physical or sensory impairments; other groups (such as people with mental health problems) combined. The paper describes the various data used in the modelling; presents a set of base case assumptions: presents the projections obtained using those assumptions: and investigates the sensitivity of the projections to changes in those assumptions. A final section sets out some conclusions.
