Although there is a shift towards smaller-scale, individualised housing, limited research exists on the long-term experiences of people with neurological disability and complex needs in these settings. This study explored the experiences of adults who had lived for two years in accessible apartments integrated into a larger mainstream development, with an additional unit for 24-hour...

There has been a growing shift from congregate disability housing toward more individualised housing models. This scoping review examines outcomes for people with disability and complex needs between 2019 and 2025, highlighting the benefits of individualised housing in supporting autonomy, well-being and community participation. However, gaps remain in outcome data and housing descriptions.

This scoping review examines outcomes of individualised housing for people with disability and complex needs. It finds benefits for autonomy, well‑being and community participation, but identifies gaps in outcome data and housing detail. Maximising impact requires accessible, adaptable environments and additional support during transition periods to ensure successful adjustment and long‑term stability in individualised housing.

This study examines how apartments designed for people with disability and complex needs support daily life. It identifies four key design factors – space, accessibility, usable technology and sensory management – and finds that good design strengthens independence. Residents also emphasise the need for clearer pre‑move information, better integrated technology and strong support to help...

This scoping review examines how and when co‑design is used with adults with acquired neurological disability and their lived experience. It finds co‑design remains under‑researched and underutilised, yet is meaningful, supporting participation, connection, belonging and learning. Future work should better define co‑design and invest in facilitation roles.
