In the context of the demographic imperative of the worldwide ageing population, this paper proposes a framework to understand the dimensions for service quality in stakeholder perceptions of elderly nursing home care. Using extant theory on service quality and satisfaction, we explore, through semi-structured interviews, the expectations and experience of service from the perspectives of residents, family/ friends and service managers. Our conceptualisation has resonance with generic notions of service quality: responsiveness, tangibles, assurance and empathy. However, systems orientation is an additional important element of experience. Expectations included issues concerning the room, care comparable to home and service outcome (returning home). checked
