- Abstract
The article presents a study that evaluates the quality end-of-life care for dementia from the point of view of family carers. The study is conducted through a review of qualitative evidence using a narrative synthesis following the guidelines of Economic and Social Research Council. The results of the study indicate that it is difficult to define what constitute high-quality end-of-life care for people with dementia.
