For Better or Worse? Impact of Residential Placement on Families.
Baker, Bruce L.; Blacher, Jan
Mental Retardation, v40 n1 p1-13 Feb 2002
Postplacement adaptation was studied in 160 families with a member in a residential facility. More than 90% concluded the living arrangement was advantageous for themselves, the child, and other family members. Families with children under 15 visited more often, reported the highest stress, as well as the lowest marital adjustment. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
