These conference papers explore the issue of quality in later life, the factors that affect older people's experience and their understanding of what matters to them. Gerontologists have much to contribute both to analysis and the promotion of quality in old age. This contribution continues to develop the means by which older people, including those with significant mental or physical disabilities can make themselves participate in the debates by defining their own experiences and what makes a difference to them.
