This review of the literature has been prepared for a working group set up by the Strathclyde Regional Council Social Work Department and the Social Work Services Group (Scotland). Part 1 looks closely at a number of recent studies which have set out to examine the factors influencing the quality of life in homes for the elderly or the physical or mental well-being of residents. It concludes that research has not succeeded in producing clear evidence that any one type of regime is better than others and argues that the important task is to chart the connections between different environments and the well-being of different types of residents. Part 2 reviews the measuring instruments which have been used in the study of old people's homes and makes recommendation about the choice of research methods. Part 3 presents an extensive bibliography of the relevant literature.
