AnnotationPeople with learning disabilities are increasingly outliving their parents. To avoid traumatic and inappropriate transitions from the family home in later life, services need to improve their relationships with families. This article reviews what is commonly known as "futures planning" for people with learning disabilities who live with their family carers. It also presents the initial findings of six action research projects, which are, in different ways, helping families to think about the future. These projects are part of the Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities' Growing Older with Learning Disabilities (GOLD) programme. (RH).
