Introduces the concept of "community guiding", a new approach implemented in Washington State's family support programme. Community guides, as defined by this programme, are intended to assist families with members who have developmental disabilities in locating community resources - other than "typical" state-funded resources - that are helpful to them in meeting their needs. Results from this qualitative study suggest community guiding has potential as a family support resource, provided there is good communication system-wide and adequate guide recruitment and role definition.

In 1996, the eight-million member Kaiser Permanente HMO adopted a vision statement that said by 2005 it would expand its services to include home- and community-based services for its members with disabilities. It funded a 3-year, 32-site demonstration that showed that it was feasible to link HMO services with existing home- and community-based (HCB) services and that members appreciated the improved coordination and access. This private-sector project showed that devolution can produce innovative and feasible models of care, but it also showed that without federal financial and regulatory support, such models are unlikely to take hold if they are focused on “unprofitable” populations, for example, those who are chronically ill, poor, and/or disabled.

Describes a project in Manchester which has for the last two years been looking at the involvement of disabled people in community care planning. Concludes that community care planning is at crossroads. Either it will become a paper exercise absorbing huge voluntary sector resources for little return. Or it will be more closely linked to purchasing an commissioning, providing an opportunity for disabled people and voluntary organisations to influence service provision directly.
