Recent years have seen a growing interest in the study and measurement of both quality of life (QOL) and quality of care (QOC). 'Satisfaction' is often used as a primary indicator of QOL and/or QOC, although the way in which it is conceptualised and measured varies according to factors such as context and study population. In this article a number of issues relating to the assessment and quality of life and quality of care in care homes for older people are discussed, with a particular focus on resident satisfaction as a key indicator. The results of an Australian study of resident satisfaction in care homes and its relevance to the UK context are then discussed.
