| Annotation | Care homes play a major role in supporting people with dementia at the end of their lives. In seeking to understand the views of staff on the care they provide, the authors held focus groups with a range of staff in nine care homes in the West Midlands. Staff discussed issues such as where death should take place, how they planned end-of-life care, and how they coped with death. This article outlines findings on admission to hospital at end of life, liaison with relatives, and advance statements. The implications for practice of these findings are discussed. (RH) |
