A study by the Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust looked at quality of life for people who have an intellectual disability living across different environments: supported living; residential accommodation; and living with parents. The study used questionnaires to rate quality of life and to measure levels of intellectual disability and challenging behaviour. The findings suggest that people in supported living experience a better quality of life than people who live in other types of accommodation.
