| 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) and My Home Life worked together to draw together key themes and messages from five of the studies deemed relevant to the care home sector. 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 present report highlights development of an observational tool, PIECE-Dem (Person; Interaction; Environment and Care Experience in Dementia). It also considers: having an understanding of the experiences of older people from black and minority ethnic (BME) groups; the role of staff in care homes; and organisational dynamics of respect and care associated with mistreatment (abuse, neglect and/or loss of dignity). Seven elements emerge as important in the organisation of care: teamwork; routines and work based norms; openness and relatives' participation; meeting residents' needs and skilful practice; care quality and responding to mistreatment; being resourceful; and the feeling of 'being at home'.
