AnnotationA research study conducted in Brisbane, Australia sought to establish older people's views on what contributes to their quality of life (QoL) in residential care settings. Focus group interviews were used to explore the key aspects of residential life that equated with a high-quality experience. A number of key themes were identified, particularly relating to issues about autonomy, control and staff-resident interactions. The article concludes with recommendations for those working in or providing residential care. (RH).
