Quality of life and quality of care experience in Australian residential aged care: a retrospective cohort study of 1,772 residents
We found high QOL and QCE across the 22 Australian RAC facilities. Enhancing residents' leisure activities, social relationships, and addressing specific needs (e.g., visual impairment and fall history) may enhance QOL and QCE.
