  5. Care home population • 75% of care home population have dementia > 30% have advanced dementia • Median life expectancy of an older person admitted to a care home that offers personal care is between 2-3 years and 1-2 years in a nursing home • 19% of people die in their own home, 35% if care homes are considered to be their home

  6. Research’s relationship with care homes • Care homes the “solution” (and the problem) to NHS long term care needs= intervention studies designed to address NHS issues • Minimal evidence of care home staff, residents and relatives’ priorities informing research priorities • Tradition of within institution research that blurs with practice development • Unlike USA no minimum data set or adoption of single assessment/data capture tool e.g.Inter RAI • Initiatives to support knowledge transfer under developed

  7. Dementia research and care homes • Negotiating access • Costs and resource use • Working in a different culture • Consent and ethics review • Access to data • Liaison with and across multiple stakeholders
