Abstract

AbstractThe author has been part of a collaborative group working on quality of care for dementia in the United Kingdom and she has also conducted a “realist review” of effective health care for those living and dying in care homes. Her presentation will briefly touch on definitions for QOL in care settings, particularly for people with dementia or people who are actively dying. She will touch on how a caring and caregiving labor force might best be prepared and configured for enhancing the QOL of care center residents. She also considers the “uneasy alliance” of primary health providers and care home staff as they try to generate high quality proactive health care yet respect individuality and QOL.
