Abstract

In this study, a questionnaire survey of daytime serviced group homes for people with disabilities was conducted. The results showed that most of the residents with severe disabilities were physically disabled, and most of the elderly residents were mentally disabled. Also, people with mental disabilities were more likely to stay in the group home during the day. The condition of the buildings tended to be accessible regardless of the type of disability of the residents. In addition, there tended to be no rooms specifically designed for daytime activities. The capacity was larger than that of a general group home.
