Figure 3.11 shows overall experiences of care in a nursing home or residential care by the illnesses of the person who died. Participants who did not know what illness their friend or relative had in the last hours and days of their life were most likely to report a ‘fair to poor’ experience (6 of 24 people or 25.0%). The next group most likely to report a ‘fair to poor’ experience were those whose relative or friend had a lung condition (34 of 184 people or 18.5%). Those whose relative or friend had dementia were least likely (115 of 791 people or 14.5%) to report a ‘fair to poor’ experience. Participants who said their relative or friend had cancer were most likely to report a ‘very good’ experience (198 of 300 people or 66.0%).
