Two municipalities in Sweden - Solna and Sigtuna - have taken part in a project (the ASIM project) aimed at developing a system for monitoring and analysing the public system of long-term care and assistance for elderly and disabled people. The two municipalities have chosen different alternatives in the question of residential homes. In Solna they have been retained and in Sigtuna they have been converted into sheltered housing. By separating the clients into different classes of dependence using the ASIM assessment, it is shown that in Solna, compared with Sigtuna, fewer of the most dependent clients are in long-term hospital care and fewer of the high-medium category are in domiciliary care. The data were used to calculate the distribution of clients and the average dependence on the different levels of care if Solna were to apply the care pattern of Sigtuna and vice versa.

Disabled young people often have difficulty in creating an independent life away from their parents and residential care can seem to be their only option. Shows how the experience can often be bitter and demeaning; and a difficult situation to move away from, even when residential establishments support people's wishes to live independently. Concludes that a better understanding of what it is like in residential care is needed particularly in the light of government plans to consign people to such care if their personal assistance costs are more than five hundred pounds a week.

Covers: the development of community care policies and their application to disabled people; the ideas of the independent living movement; the debate on informal care; the experience of residential care, of being dependent on a partner or relatives for assistance and the experience of statutory services.
