| Annotation | The Bradford Dementia Group is conducting a longitudinal study of the quality of life of people with dementia living in residential care homes run by Methodist Homes. One of the aspects of quality of life is spiritual well-being. In this article, the author explores the broader meaning of spiritual well-being, which may or may not include religious engagement. A draft measure of spiritual well-being in terms of religious engagement, and a draft measure of broader spiritual well-being, to be used to assess spiritual well-being of older residents in care homes, are presented. Broader spiritual well-being include the following dimensions: reflectiveness; finding meaning in experience; valuing the non-material parts of life; a sense of enduring reality; and connectedness.
