This paper provides a summary of a literature review looking at the needs of older people with learning disabilities, paying particular attention to the appropriateness of different forms of accommodation, and the situation for those people living at home with older family carers. The review revealed increasing longevity amongst people with learning disabilities which matches the changes seen in the general population. This has been a gradual development which means that the increase in absolute numbers in any given local authority area will not be great. However, the literature also identified large areas of un-met need amongst older people with learning disabilities, many of whom are unknown to services. It urges that they be viewed as individuals, and assumptions not be made about them as a new group defined by age and learning disability. The implications of the research evidence for service provision are detailed.
