Young disabled people, often with severe and complex conditions, are being denied a real choice about how and where they live. Lack of government funding, a postcode lottery of services, a chronic lack of data and negative attitudes about "residential care" among some policy-makers and professionals are to blame. More than a third of young disabled adults living in care homes are housed inappropriately, the report shows. According to the best available data, at least 9,000 are living in settings designed for a different client group - often in homes for older people.
