Abstract
- The article discusses a research exploring the views and expectations about living and dying among care home residents and how their views are affected by their experience in the care home. Study reveals that people living in care homes are not different from the rest of the population and the deaths of other residents do not shape their views and priorities for end-of-life care. The findings can help introduce, discuss and tailor existing frameworks and programmes of end-of-life care.
