It is based on secondary analysis of a national survey of disabled adults in private households. A typology of dependency is developed to examine the extent of informal and service help received by people with diverse needs for help with everyday activities, and to provide population estimates. The vast majority of the most heavily dependent people relied solely on informal care and, arguably, would benefit from a community care assessment.
