Longitudinal Study of Institutional Downsizing: Effects on Individuals Who Remain in the Institution.

Stancliffe, Roger J.; Hayden, Mary F.

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v102 n5 p500-10 Mar 1998

A four-year study investigated the effects of deinstitutionalization programs on 71 individuals who remained in institutions being downsized. Results found downsizing was associated with decreased community integration, decreased availability of therapy services, and many residential and day program moves within the institution. Per person expenditure on services increased substantially. (Author/CR)
