Within the staffed housing model relatively little is known about the characteristics of different types of provider agency. Reports on a study which collected data on size, homeliness, organisational structure, working methods, staffing levels and resident characteristics on a sample of providers in South West England and Wales. Results found significant differences between providers on the variables of working methods and staffing levels. Resident ability correlated with staffing levels and organisational culture, but not with staff working methods. Discusses the results and their implications in the context of other research.
