Explores quality of life in nursing home residents, suggesting ways to enhance involvement of family and friends.
Family, friends, or neighbours seemed to act as resources for the residents. We recommend that researchers investigate the residents' perspectives as well as those of their families and friends to determine how they could become more deeply involved in the daily nursing practice. Moreover, studies on meaningful activities are warranted, and not only for persons with dementia, but for all nursing home residents.
