| Annotation | During 2008, Housing 21 and the NHS End of Life Care team conducted a 6-month service improvement pilot project designed to enhance dignity and choice in end-of-life care (EoLC) in three extra care housing settings in north-east England and East Anglia. This report is an evaluation of the project, exploring what changed over the 6 months and assessing the extent to which the approaches used in this particular project might be translated to other extra care settings nationally. Four key issues are identified: promoting dignity and choice for older people and family carers; support and training for staff; extra care and its links to wider health and specialist resources; and commissioning and funding.
