This
paper reports findings from a study in the North West of England that explored bereaved relatives' and carers'
experiences of end-of-life care at home using the Care of the Dying Evaluation
(CODE) questionnaire. In general good quality care was provided, but there were
times when adequate support was not evident in relation to pain control and
what to expect when death was imminent. The study provides useful information
for those who provide end-of-life care at home.
