This study was carried out to identify indicators of dignity in care for older people. The study involved a literature search, focus group discussions and telephone interviews. The aim was to make recommendations on the best way to measure each of the Help the Aged domains of dignified care: personal hygiene; eating and nutrition; privacy; communication; pain; autonomy; personal care; end-of-life care and social inclusion. A set of proposed indicators across these nine domains have been drafted as a result of this research. Four cross-cutting themes were identified within the indicators: choice, control, staff attitudes, and facilities.
