Reviews two community integration projects at the University of Missouri-Kansas City Institute for Human Development which illustrate model development across the life-span. The preschool project is aimed at successfully mainstreaming preschoolers who are handicapped with their non-handicapped peers through the use of trained volunteers. The elderly project is directed at increasing community integration of elderly persons with developmental disabilities by using non-handicapped elderly volunteer companions.
A description of each project, including project goals, methods, and preliminary results is provided to develop a frame of reference for a comparative discussion of the strengths, weaknesses, and outcomes in the community-based demonstration projects.
Three common variables are discussed: use of trained volunteers, changes in attitudes and knowledge by non-handicapped volunteers, and measured outcomes for clients. The costs and benefits of model development are summarized.

Department of Health and Human Services - New Hampshire Division for Community Services and Long-Term Supports and Institute on Disability/UAP (1998). Supporting Elderly Families with Sons and Daughters with Disabilities at Home: Strengthening New Hampshire Family Support, University of New Hampshire: 30.
The New Hampshire Division for Community Services and Long-Term Supports in the Department of Health and Human Services and the Institute on Disability/UAP at the University of New Hampshire propose an initiative designed to strengthen and expand the family support system. Today, an estimated 500 elderly families care for adult sons and daughters with disabilities with little support from the service system.
This project is being developed at a critical time in the history of Family Support in New Hampshire. If all of the families who are elderly caring for a son or daughter with a disability at home requested out of home services and supports, there would be crisis in the system. It is essential that work to support these families in ways that meet their individual need and their history of care-taking.
The result of a year long study in 1998 which included intensive interviews indicated the need to develop a family support component that meets the unique needs of this particular group. Families expressed a need for a system that: 1) supports elderly families to provide information to one another, 2) provides them with information regarding guardianship, wills, and trusts; 3) assists them in the process of Personal Futures Planning; and; 4) provides respite services when needed; and 5) includes service coordinators with unique knowledge about people who are elderly and the available services and supports.
The three year project will address each of these unique needs and strengthen New Hampshire's current Family Support System that includes 12 Family Support Councils each assigned a Family Support Coordinator.
Furthermore, New Hampshire is undergoing a transformation in its service system based on the principles of self-determination. This transformation provides a unique opportunity to allocate service system dollars to families to support their individual needs.

A sample of 16 older persons with mental retardation (mean age, 61 years; mean IQ, 62) who were originally studied in 1960-1961 and subsequently followed up in 1972-1973 and 1982 were reexamined. Despite advancing years, their independence, social competence, and zest for life had increased. The patterns of their lives were discussed in comparison with their counterparts who had spent their lives in more restricted residential settings.

The relation between service utilization and characteristics of older caregivers, their dependents with mental retardation, and their ability to provide care were examined. Caregiver and dependent characteristics were not significantly related to service utilization. Rather, the caregivers' assessments of their current ability to provide care was significantly related to the amount of service use. Implications of these finding were discussed.

Aging mentally retarded persons are at risk of developing mental health difficulties. Problems in case detection, diagnosis, and the application of standard treatment interventions must be addressed to ensure quality mental health services to aging mentally retarded adults. Also highlighted are qhyiological/medical conditions which can further complicate the aging mentally retarded person's life adjustment.

Gambert, S. R., S. Liebeskind, et al. (1987). Lifelong Preventative Health Care for Elderly Persons with Disabilities. Lifespan Planning A. 12: 292-296.
Elderly persons with developmental disabilities are living longer, and a lifelong preventative aging program is essential to ensure a high quality of life during later years. Normal aging changes coupled with age-prevalent illness may lead to decreased physical functioning and increased dependency.
Although normal aging is not preventable, these changes must not be accelerated; diseases must be noted early and treated promptly. This article proposes a lifelong preventative aging program for persons with developmental disabilities.

Gaugler, J. E. Family Involvement and Resident Psychosocial Status in Long-Term Care, The University of Kentucky College of Medicine: 36.
Prior research has suggested family involvement is key to he psychosocial adaptation of long-term care residents, few studies directly test this assertion. The current study interviewed 79 residents, their primary family members, primary staff persons, and administrators recruited from 5 nursing homes, 5 assisted living facilities, and 16 family care homes in Kentucky.
Subsequent regression models indicated family members who transported their relatives outside the facility or attend care conferences assisted institutionalized loved ones with lower and higher psychosocial status, respectively. The results suggest the complex relationships between family involvement and resident psychosocial status, and have important implications for future research and practice.
Gaugler, J. E. A., Keith A.; Leach, Corinne R., Predictors of Family Involvement in Residential Long-Term Care. Lexington, University of Kentucky: 37.
Much of the gerontological literature emphasizes the institutionalization of an older adult as an endpoint of family care, research has emerged illustrating the continued involvement of family members in the lives of residents. The purpose of the present study was to determine how resident setting, family context, resident background, staff background, and resident function influence the provision of family involvement in three long-term care environments: nursing home, assisted living facilities, and family care homes. Five nursing homes, 5 assisted living facilities and 16 family care homes and residents (N=112) in the state of Kentucky were randomly selected.
Results showed that type of facility was less important accounting for different dimensions of family involvement than family context, family orientation of facilities, or resident need. The findings demonstrate the complex process of family involvement across the long-term care landscape, and have several research and practice implications for the facilitation of family integration in residential long-term care.
