The literature suggests that pain in the elderly, especially among seniors with dementia, is under-assessed and under-treated. This qualitative study solicited the perspectives of seniors, front-line nursing staff, nursing-home administrators, and informal caregivers of seniors with dementia on the current status of pain assessment and management. The views of these participants complement the research findings reported in the literature. While some of their explanations and potential solutions concerning under-treatment of pain in seniors echo views that have been presented in the literature, the participants also pointed to factors and avenues that have been given less formal consideration (e.g., systemic barriers to effective assessment and treatment of pain). They also highlighted the need for pain-control strategies beyond medication. The implications of these findings are discussed.
