This review examines about 30 recent research and demonstration projects funded
primarily by the Administration on Aging. The projects attempt to promote self-determination at different levels of environmental restrictiveness, through in-home
and community-based long-term care services. The article provides a conceptual
framework for informing policymakers, program developers, and practitioners on
the scope of projects encouraging self-determination among the elderly and their
family care givers, as well as the array of care-giving services and sites that are being
developed.
