Given a sample of 211 facilities in the State of California, five relatively independent dimensions were identified to characterize sheltered-care facilities: complexity, program orientation, control, support, and medical orientation. An analysis of facility score profiles generated six basic types of facilities. A typology of this nature can now be used as a descriptive model to examine placement and effectiveness issues related to the sheltered care environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":93063,"journal":{"name":"Adult foster care journal : AFCJ","volume":"2 2","pages":"118-134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7451254/pdf/nihms-1609679.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38326366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
