Abstract

SUMMARY This paper presents the findings of a major follow-up study of independent living schemes (ILSs) for people with mental health problems and people with learning difficulties. The survey was undertaken in four local authority areas and covered 171 schemes accom modating 481 residents. Information was gathered on the characteristics of the schemes and their occupants, with particular reference to the suitability of the ILSs in meeting residents' needs. It was found that mixed-sex ILSs and ILSs run by voluntary bodies in co operation with statutory agencies had higher than average success rates.
