摘要

台灣中高齡智障者雙老家庭數量逐年攀升，這些雙老家庭在此生命階段所須承擔的生理、心理與社會的壓力不同以往，然而其雖面臨如此的壓力，但卻往往因著責任函、情感面以及現實面等交雜因素，選擇持續照顧其智障子代，並對宜居模式有著「安身」、「安生」與「安心」的想望。故本研究構思親子家園模式，企圖滿足中高齡智障者雙老家庭對於「三安」的期待，並是此訪談十九位研究參與者，包括八位中高齡智障者的父母、八位實務工作，以及三位身障教養機構管理者。研究發現，此種新型模式可能出現過法性、身障機構意願、潛在使用者的接受度，以及社區鄰里接納度的考驗。因此，親子家園的構想是否能夠成真，係需要多方的配合，包括相關法規是否有更多的彈性與整合空間，以使得親子家園的模式於法有據；包括身心障礙機構是否可以稍稍降低對經營成本以及管理壓力的焦慮，在政府獎勵以及市場需求的誘因促動下，願意嘗試運作親子家園的模式;色括潛在使用者可否對於圓滿家庭的圖像以及對於習以為常的關餘與環境慣性之態度有所鬆動；以及包括鄰里社區對於“非我族類”的接納度。
