Lived experiences of end-of-life care at home in the UK: a scoping review of qualitative research.
Home is the preferred place of care and death for most people with advanced illness. ⋯ There is limited published evidence exploring the lived experiences of end-of-life care at home and this constrains the extent to which community services can be evidence informed in their design and delivery. More research is needed to examine the first-hand experiences of people who are dying at home, particularly for those with non-cancer conditions and where specialist services are not involved.
