Abstract
This article reviews the challenges inherent in providing high-quality palliative care to dying nursing home residents and summarizes the efforts to address these challenges. It is suggested that a stronger physician presence and oversight of physicians knowledgeable in palliative care in nursing homes are needed to improve the quality of end-of-life care in nursing homes.
