| Annotation | A postal survey of managers of 281 care homes in South Yorkshire was undertaken in order to: establish the nature of deaths within the care homes; identify managers' perspectives of the needs of residents and family; describe the resources available to the home; and describe managers' priorities for improving end-of-life care. This report presents findings of the study (funded by the Health Foundation), which seeks a participative approach in the development of new practices in end-of-life care, particularly with regard to communication and shared decision making, symptom assessment and management, and working within the structures of the health and social care system.
