    Abstract:
    The public policy of supporting the mentally retarded in community-based, group home environments provides an exciting opportunity for nurses to develop health promotion and self-care programs to increase the independent living capacity of this population. This article discusses the issues raised and solutions developed by nurse practitioners working with adults with serious medical problems and diminished cognitive capacity.
