Abstract:
This article provides an overview of the Department of Veterans Affairs Community Residential Care Program and summarizes key literature about programs developed in the United States. Descriptive data for 1995 and 1996 are provided to assist program planners in comparing and contrasting client characteristics and services. The authors conclude that, in addition to being cost effective, the residential care program strengthens relationships between the health care facility and the community it serves.
