Overview

Qualitative study explores the challenges faced by disability service providers in supporting adults with dementia, indicating gaps in care and guidelines.

Key Points

  • Support workers' remuneration and staffing are affected by the care needs of residents in group homes.
  • Provider organizations lack guidelines for ageing in place, despite its desirability in group home settings.
  • Further investigation is needed into the care of adults with intellectual disabilities living with dementia in community settings.
