Uehara, Edwina S.; And Others
Mental Retardation, v29 n4 p223-31 Aug 1991
This study evaluated 2,815 adults with developmental disabilities in 328 Illinois intermediate care and skilled nursing facilities. Only 10 percent were determined to be appropriately placed in medical settings; 27 percent were enrolled in day training programs; and many individuals recommended for alternative residential settings had medical and self-care needs making them inappropriate for such placement.
