Despite initial hopes for a smooth transition to community-based care, the community was unprepared, leading to inadequate support and resources for former residents. The staff in group homes were often inexperienced and underpaid, and many former Pennhurst residents struggled without proper guidance on basic life skills, highlighting ongoing issues in the transition to community care.
