Summary
The United Nations described an inclusive society as one where every individual has an active role to play (UNESCO 2012). An inclusive society should be equipped with the appropriate mechanisms to enable all citizens to participate and feel valued and belong (Wooster 2009; UN 2006). In this journal, Briggs and Harris (2017) argued for more debate about the meaning of the concept of inclusion in different settings, including health care practices. Participation in community life is vital for health and wellbeing, for promoting a sense of belonging, networks of social support and opportunities for physical activity (Carroll et al 2018). Long-term care consists of practices that support people with enduring disabilities in their daily lives. We reflect on the lessons learned and what professionals could do to establish inclusion in longterm care
