  3. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • NOOT: ‘verstandelijke handicap’= intellectual disability (ID) = mental retardation • Three topics in this presentation • 1. Policy • 2. Present State • 3. Proceedings

  4. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 1. Policy • Official Dutch policy: Community Care! • Policy Goals: • Quality of life for persons with intellectual • disability. • Enabling persons with ID to live a life of their • own choice. • Access to tailor made, flexible support in the local • community. • Participation of persons with ID in the local • community.

  5. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 1. Policy • Official Dutch policy: Community Care! • Policy Targets: • Housing : individual or small groups (4), ‘normal’ • housing conditions. • Normal school, work and leisure opportunities • and settings accessible to persons with ID. • Generic support functions for ‘general needs’. • Specialized support functions (medical,psychiatric, • psychological, educational) for special needs/groups • available in Centers of Expertise and Multifunctional • Treatment Centers.

  6. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 1. Policy • Official Dutch policy: Community Care! • Policy Conditions: • Changing regulations and legislation • Client based budgets - budget relative to • intensity of needs - ‘real’ choice of • provider. • Non-discrimination laws (e.g.: ADA like • legislation). • De-institutionalisation (shift from congregate care • to functional and modular system of support • provision).

  7. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 2. Present State • Dutch ID system characteristics in a nutshell: • High degree of residential placement (50% of all • persons with ID are not living with their family or on • their own = 50% are in residential care). • High degree of institutionalization (66 % of all • residential clients are in institutions). • Group Home alternative to institutions used to be • fairly ‘institutionalized’ (e.g.: groups of 24) - (34% of • residential clients). • Recent implementation of client rights inspired • regulations (BOPZ; WGBO; Complaint Committees..).

  8. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 2. Present State • Dutch ID system characteristics in a nutshell: • High degree of professionalization (availability of well • trained and professional staff on all levels). • ‘Centralized’ system (regulations; funding; inspection) • ‘Fair’ compensation (salaries) and work conditions • under national and field applicable arrangements • between employers and unions (2 years CAOs). • ‘Categorization’ of individuals and services. • Significant waiting lists (‘old’ solutions are easiest to • apply).

  9. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 2. Present State • Facts and figures • Population: 16,000,000 • Number of persons with ID: (estimate 102,100 • (persons in any kind of service program) • 7 per 1000 • deep and severe intellectual disability: 52,700 • moderate and mild intellectual disability: 49,400

  10. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 2. Present State • Facts and figures • Persons in institutions: 35,325 • Persons in group homes: 16,937 • Respite care homes capacity: 140 • Day care centers (children): 4,227 • Day care centers (adult): 11,938 • Consulting and social work services: 36,195 • (Social Pedagogic Services including referral)

  11. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 2. Present State • Facts and figures (Residential population) • Age group Institutional Group Home • years % % • 00-19 9 20 20-49 62 73 50+ 29 7 • average 41y 44y

  12. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 2. Present State • Facts and figures • Work force in institutions: 41,032 • Work force in group homes: 9,635 • Annual costs of institutional facilities: 1,700 Mil.$ • Annual costs of group homes: 392 Mil $

  13. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 2. Present State • Dutch ID system characteristics in a nutshell: • Relatively high degree of satsifaction with present • service system (parents). • Low ‘sense of urgence’ with respect to change. • Questioning of Community Care solutions by parents • and professionals (“Are they better off ? ” - “ Society • and communities are not ‘ready’ to including persons • with ID. ”).

  14. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 2. Present State • Fairly institution oriented? • HOWEVER • By 2001, between 25% and 30% of ‘institutional’ capacity has been transformed into small, community housing arrangements (individual, 2, 4 to 8 persons) and the numbers are growing fast! • By 2001 most traditional Group Homes have been transformed into small appartment and individual living arrangements!

  15. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 2. Present State • Fairly institutional oriented? • If so much is changing towards smaller facilities, more normal conditions, more community presence… • what is the problem?

  16. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 2. Present State • The more recent Dutch community oriented residential services however are still fully part of the institutional / group home administrative organizations and funding system. • So, there is no ‘real’ de-institutionalization but sort of ‘deconcentration’ of the institution into the community. • Advantages: - Controlled change; no system revolution; few extra costs • - Secure for all personnel involved • Disadvantages: - Slow proces • - Hard to change traditional ‘culture’ • - No significant competition or alternatives • from new services in the field

  17. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 2. Present State • In the past 10 years we witness considerable concentration of provider organizations through mergers. • This doesn’t result in downsizing of organizations but in growth towards bigger ‘concerns’. • Mergers include also merging ‘institutional’ services with ‘group home and day care services’. • Advantage: reshuffling traditional functions, capacities • and opportunity for building new services (more support • oriented). • Disadvantage: bigger organization scale leads to more • (budget) ‘control’ oriented culture and hampers client • and quality oriented (fast) change responses.

  18. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 3.Proceedings • Emerging new funding system: client based and intensity • of support related budgets (experimental). • Parents initiatives: e.g.: 36 houses initiated and run by • parents (serving 237 clients) by Januray 2000 and 75 more • underway. • Downsizing institutional campuses while maintaining • residential capacities: deconcentration. • Establishing a new referral system (independant of service • system). • Reducing waiting lists (still a problem).

  19. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 3.Proceedings • Experts are now usually employed by the service and part • of the service organization (residential or day care). This • pattern is now changing: • Emerging regional Centers of Expertise for regional • pooling of expert capacity and specialties. • Emerging regional centers for treatment of persons with • severe behavior problems. • Enhancing Support orientation (instead of traditional Care • orientation). • Increasing opportunities for supported employment (still • incompatibilities between “SSI” and “right to paid work”).

  20. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 3.Proceedings • Enlarging the number of persons in supported living • arrangements (now predominantly persons with mild ID). • Increasing participation of persons with ID in normal • school system (still restricted number). • Traditional administration, tracking and feedback systems • (registration, bookkeeping, data bases) fail to reflect • present changes in service delivery.

  21. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 3.Proceedings • Problems: • Aging (pushing waiting lists). • General needs = generic services (housing, health, income) • Special needs = special services (treatment, support). • Generic services are ill-prepared to the ‘new’ population. • Inclusion in Work settings is slow (labor market is • developping towards more knowledge oriented and • technology based tasks / attitudes). • Increase in employee turnover (towards 15 - 20%)

  22. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 3.Proceedings • Problems: • Concern about losing experts and expertise as the • residential centers (institutions) are being replaced by • community care settings (as has happened in Scandinavia). • The new policy towards Quality of life and Inclusion • requires a different ‘culture’ of the service system and • simply more money to attain the goals of equal • opportunities, especially for persons with multiple and • severe disabilities. • Organizational and management models of services • (combining flexible individual oriented services with large • organizations)

  23. Intellectual Disability in the Netherlands: towards community care • 3.Proceedings • Shifts: • Positive shift towards Quality of Life. • Positive focus on the individual and on needs of support. • Public image of persons with ID is diverse but not • necessarily negative. • Studies show positive achievements of inclusion as well as • problematic situations (social integration in the community • is much more difficult than physical and functional • integration).
