| Annotation | PANICOA, Preventing Abuse and Neglect in Institutional Care of Older Adults is a research initiative to enhance dignity in care homes and hospitals; the programme was jointly funded by the Department of Health (DH) and Comic Relief. The Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA) has drawn together key messages from five studies whose focus was the care experience of older people in care homes, and ways of improving care and minimising the chances of abuse and neglect. The five reports were: Dignity and respect in residential care; PEACH - Promoting Excellence in All Care Homes; Organizational dynamics of respect and elder care; CHOICE - Chare Home Organisations Implementing Cultures for Excellence; and How can I tell what is going on here? (See http://www.panicoa.org.uk/studies for links to these reports). The reports highlight the importance of organisational structures and culture in the provision of good care. It also notes that all the studies sgree that person-centred care, in which the resident is seen as an individual, will produce the best care outcome; and that residents place a high value on their relationships with staff, relatives and other residents.
