Care home bed provision and living in an area of least deprivation were the most important factors associated with care home death.

Sleeman et al 2014 Sleeman et al 2014

among people with a death certificate mention of dementia, hospital deaths remain amongst the highest in developed countries, with two in five people dying in hospital

2016, found only 2 RCTs. Measured 30 outcomes but failed to measure the same outcome

• 1. 30% of those with dementia received

palliative medications v 50% of those with

• ther conditions
• 2. 9% were referred to PC team, versus 25%

with other conditions

Commissioned by Marie Curie - inc Voices data and lit review

16 . 1

• 1. people with dementia have symptoms that are commonly not effectively

addressed and

• 2. dying phase may frequently go unrecognised : Rowlands and Rowlands (2012)

Birch and Draper (2008)

• 3. Less predictable course of late illness (van der Steen 2013)
• 4. 71% of USA NH residents expected to live 6/12 died within that period (Bayer)
• 5. USA: Those with primary diagnosis of dementia more likely to outlive Medicare

prognostic models (Rothenberg 14)

• 6. "Controversiality" (LCP)
• 7. Communication and ethical / legal misunderstanding leadign to overly

aggressive intervention

We sought to explore service personnel’s recognition of dementia as a life-limiting illness, the management of acute medical problems, appropriateness of hospitalisation, the role of advance care plans and do not attempt resuscitation orders and HCPs views of where the health and social care system is failing to meet the needs of people with advanced dementia and their families. The researchers used emerging information to explore significant and unanticipated issues in later interviews.

By law it should be five to one [ratio of care staff to residents]. So the extra five, I chipped in most times to assist. And I work on the floor . . . [Why do you think you’re understaffed at the moment?] From my experience - its right across the whole country, you never get enough staff in. It’s only,

• ccasionally you might have three carers to support you, but most of the time, the shortness of

the adequate personnel is a crisis . . . Well, I do believe that one of the reasons is cost

• effectiveness. Not cost effectiveness - it’s got to do with finance. Not finance in the sense that,

it’s [care homes] a profit making organisation, that doesn’t make it easy. And the less staff you get to carry out the task, the more profit you make (Mental Health Nurse).

18 . 3

A strongly held view was that care homes were ill equipped to provide adequate end of life care for residents with dementia. Due to the profit-driven nature of care homes, respondents reported that staffing levels were poor, and staff turnover was high due to limited professional development

• pportunities, demanding workloads, low pay and low

job satisfaction resulting in high levels of role burden. Low availability of both trained & untrained staff.

Coordinate My Care, an Electronic Palliative Care Coordination System.

• 1. 1,047 people who died with dementia
• 2. preferred v actual place of death available for

803

• 3. care home (58.8%, n = 472)
• 4. home (39.0%, n = 313)
• 5. 83.7% (n = 672) died in their preferred place
• 6. Dying in the preferred place was more likely for

those most functionally impaired (OR 1.82 95% CI 1.06–3.13), and with a ceiling of treatment of ‘symptomatic relief only’ (OR 2.65, 95% CI 1.37– 5.14).

• 7. It was less likely for people with a primary

diagnosis of cancer (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.28–0.97), those who were ‘for’ cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.16–0.62) and those whose record was created longer before death (51–250 days (ref <50 days) OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.38–0.94)
