Written by the parents of two young women with disabilities, this book follows the attempts to help them achieve their dream of a home of their own, supported by twenty-four hour care. The book offers: practical knowledge, guidance and expertise, including details of planning and financing, for setting up a home-support scheme and making it work successfully; an insight into the practical realities of new patterns of living in the community for those with the most profound intellectual and multiple disabilities. Home at Last is an indispensable source of information for parents, carers, social workers, health and social services and politicians making decisions in the area of community care.
