| Annotation | This report is produced by the Help the Aged in partnership with the National Care Forum and the National Care Homes Research and Development Forum (NCHRDF). It provides direct testimony from a few residents, relatives and staff. It includes a summary of a review of evidence on practice that builds on previous research work undertaken by Sue Davies, Mike Nolan and colleagues at the University of Sheffield. The report urges a patient-centred rather than process-driven approach to care, focusing on meaningful activity and shared decision-making. The report accompanies an evidence report, "A review of evidence on quality of life in care homes", produced for the My Home Life programme, which provides supplementary evidence, and is to be published as a PDF on the Help the Aged website.
