'Finding home': a grounded theory on how older people 'find home' in long-term care settings.
A link between residents 'feeling at home' in long-term care facilities and 'quality of life' is emerging in the literature. Few studies, however, have focused on what helps residents to find a home in long-term care settings. This study aimed to fill this gap. ⋯ The Theory of Finding Home gives insight into what matters to older people living in long-term care settings. Strategies to help generate a feeling of home in long-term care settings are shared.
