Older People's Vision for Long Term Care

Published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, an endowed organization in the UK, this study aimed to answer to question of how can we ensure a 'better life' for older people in residential and nursing care homes when their voices are rarely heard?

The paper examined the experiences and aspirations of these older people and highlights their ambition to increasingly influence decisions about care, support and wider issues such as:

* Whether or not to move to a care home
* What helps to enhance their quality of life
* What is needed to promote their inclusion in care home, family and wider community life.
