Two questionnaires, Characteristics of the Treatment Environment (CTE) and the Residential Management Survey (RMS), were administered on two occasions to the staffs of various types of community residential facilities serving retarded persons. The results were consistent with those of previous studies of public institutions, i.e., the responses of staff to the questionnaires were only minimally related to their demographic characteristics and employment history, and the CTE and RMS mean scores for three types of community facilities were relatively stable over time. A major finding was that treatment practices differed among a variety of residential setting—an institution, skilled nursing facilities, resident facilities, and family homes. These differences, as measured by the CTE and RMS, were along the dimensions of Activity, Autonomy, and staff orientation.
