AB - Purpose – This paper aims to report on a survey conducted within North Wales regarding the perceptions of older people on dignity in care issues in the services received. Design/methodology/approach – The North Wales Dignity in Care Forum did a survey, driven by the question: What one change today could make a difference to you tomorrow? National Health Service and local authority organisations participated in the survey. In total, 499 responses were received. Findings – Some key themes were identified, particularly relating to keeping independence, individual respect and personal care. National Health Service and local authority responses had some differences. Research limitations/implications – Limitations include an absence of demographic data, an open sampling frame, so a response rate was difficult to measure and an inability to validate or further explore issues raised. This survey shows the value of a rapid and simple method of collecting information from older people accessing services. Originality/value – The findings of the North Wales survey may help in taking forward new models of working for older people, especially for the most vulnerable.
