Self-determination of people with learning disability living in hospital, community group home, or apartment was assessed using a 22-item scale. Data were collected from 54 residents (aged 17-72 yrs) by interviewing the direct care staff. Self-determination was highest in the apartments, while hospital wards and group homes did not differ from each other. Great variations were observed in each form of housing. The less disabled residents enjoyed a higher level of self-determination than others, but the level of disability alone did not explain the observed differences between the types of housing. Some implications for service planning are discussed.
