| Annotation | In a society where experiences of dying are often a taboo subject, an end-of-life project focuses on allowing people to die at home with good care. This article outlines findings of the project conducted by Housing 21 and the Department of Health (DH) End of Life Care Programme. The report, '"Is it that time already?" extra care housing at the end of life: a policy-into-practice evaluation', focused on enabling terminally ill extra-care tenants to die at home where that was their wish. Among the implications for practice identified is providing dignity and choice. (RH). |
