The authors refer to a European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling on a care home resident who was reluctant to be moved. Looks at where the law currently stands on the involuntary relocation of care home residents in the UK, and calls for necessary steps to be taken to promote older people's well-being. (JL). |
