Long-term care polices and programmes in the United States suffer from a major flaw: they are balanced toward a model of nursing home care that, regardless of its technical quality, tends to be associated with poor quality of life for consumers. This article argues that quality-of-life outcomes are minimized in current quality assessment and given credence only after health and safety outcomes are considered. Five trends are reviewed that might lead to a more consumer-centred emphasis on quality of life: the disability rights movement, the emphasis on consumer direction, the growth of assisted living, increasing attention to physical environments, and efforts to bring about culture change in nursing homes. Building on these trends, the article concludes with strategies to move beyond current stalemates and polarised arguments toward forms of long-term care that are more compatible with a good quality of life.
