Unique challenges face the disability, aged care and health sectors because of the increased life expectancy of people with life-long intellectual disability (ID) and the likelihood of their premature ageing. Although this group is recognised by Federal and State governments as requiring specific and special service arrangements, little is known about adapting disability and aged care services to their needs. This research will inform the development of policy and programs in the disability, aged care, and health sectors. The research aims to improve the capacity of disability group homes to respond to the health and ageing issues of older people with ID,to improve their quality of life.

残疾、老年护理和卫生部门面临着独特的挑战，因为终身智力残疾人的预期寿命增加，他们可能过早衰老。尽管联邦和州政府承认这一群体需要具体和特别的服务安排，但对如何使残疾和老年护理服务适应他们的需求知之甚少。这项研究将为残疾、老年护理和卫生部门的政策和方案的制定提供信息。该研究旨在提高残疾人之家的能力，以应对患有ID的老年人的健康和老龄化问题，提高他们的生活质量。
