Health Care Needs and Residential Settings: A National Survey and Policy Perspectives.

Anderson, Deborah J.

Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, v15 n3-4 p289-300 1989

Findings from a 1985-86 study of mentally retarded persons (N=370) over age 62 living in residential facilities indicated similarities in their medical care needs compared with needs of the general older population. Differences were in areas such as level of retardation and independent living skills, which increase assistance needs but not medically intensive services. (Author/DB)
