A Study on the Korean Group-home Model for the Intelligently Handicapped through Comparative Research

A Group home is where 3~4 of the Handicaps live in a normal residence in the community and supervised by and living with a home-helper who is a qualified social worker. This study is a case of Group homes which is one of the public facilities for the intelligently handicapped(mentally retarded). For the comparative criteria, legal & public administrative factors, facility factors, human resources factors and financial factors were selected. Through these research purposes we can look into the implications that can be applied to the Korean group homes, and further more propose a Korean group home model which is modified from that of the advanced welfare states system. The conclusion was drawn as follows. First, the group home has no unified form of related provisions. Secondly, the group homes residential form is overly monolithic. Thirdly, is the necessity of restructuring the current group home living guidance instructor system. Fourth, the most difficult problem in managing a group home is the problem of insuring the housing and budgeting.
