| Annotation | The Social Care and Disability Committee of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) is developing an Older People's Programme, focusing on the support that older people would value in order to continue to live independently, comfortably, and with a sense of dignity and freedom. This paper considers three tasks: a review of what is known about definitions of quality from the perspective of older people; finding evidence about the outcomes older people wish to achieve and the extent to which services deal with these; and developing an agenda for future work. This is one of three reports commissioned by the JRF to inform its Older People's Steering Group in shaping an agenda for development work. Taken as a whole, the series examines opportunities for older people to have a say, and to suggest ways of taking forward the participatory aims of the Better Government for Older People Programme (BGOP).
