Welcome to the Coalition for Quality in Care website

The Coalition consists of 40 organisations and individuals who share a common concern in promoting the well being of older people receiving long-term care in a wide range of settings and differing circumstances.

Our aim is to maintain and increase professional, political and public awareness of the needs, rights and aspirations of all older people, including those most vulnerable through mental or physical infirmity. The Coalition seeks to do this through the promotion of good practice and vigilance in the face of pressures from many quarters to compromise on the important issues which ensure quality of care, funding, the legislative framework, training, ageism and social exclusion.

The unique characteristic of the Coalition is that it provides a voice and a forum for people from all sectors, the independent, voluntary and statutory providers as well as academics, health and policy analysts and relevant Royal Colleges and other professional institutions, and most importantly older people for themselves.
