Building on more than a decade of collaborative international and interdisciplinary research in Canada, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the UK and the US, it employs a feminist political economy framework to address the key challenges facing care homes in this turbulent era. With particular attention to lessons learned in Canada, Sweden, and Norway, the contributing authors argue that publicly-funded care homes remain critical to care arrangements but require policy and practice transformations to produce equitable and supportive conditions. Attentive to the specific contexts and tensions that shape care, chapters address key questions about care home quality and labour in relation to gender, race, ethnicity, religion and class. The book analyses the physical and social boundaries that set the conditions for quality of life and care, moving beyond the minimum to explain how nursing homes can provide joy. Offering alternative approaches to the complex challenges facing this vital public service, this book will be a key reference for students and scholars of health policy, comparative social policy and social work. Its integration of statistical, policy and practice analysis with ethnographic research will prove invaluable to those concerned with long-term care policy and practice"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aIn a Turbulent Era Series 606 $aCongregate housing$xLaw and legislation 606 $aCongregate housing$xManagement 606 $aInstitutional care$xGovernment policy 606 $aNursing homes$xLaw and legislation 606 $aNursing homes$xManagement 615 0$aCongregate housing$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aCongregate housing$xManagement. 615 0$aInstitutional care$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aNursing homes$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aNursing homes$xManagement. 676 $a362.0425 702 $aArmstrong$b Pat 702 $aBraedley$b Susan 712 02$aEdward Elgar Publishing, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741370403321 996 $aCare Homes in a Turbulent Era$93556367 997 $aUNINA
