Abstract

This chapter discusses end-of-life care in nursing and residential homes in Great Britain. The quality of dying of residents has been often neglected in favour of providing them a good quality of life while they are still living. While no one will deny that the quality of life needs to improve for these older people, the uneven boundary between life and death needs to be acknowledged and the quality of death given equal recognition.
