Explores some of the experiences of older people living in residential settings (sheltered, very sheltered housing and residential care), in the context of theories of participation, consumerism and citizenship. It draws on material from personal interviews undertaken with older people in England and Wales, and also from discussion with staff. The study found there is a need to change both attitudes and practice to enable older people to participate more fully in these settings.
