Against a background of debate around global ageing and what this
means in terms of the future care need of older people, this book
addresses key concerns about the nature and site of care and
care-giving. Following a critical review of research into who
cares, where and how, it uses geographical perspectives to present
a comprehensive analysis of how the intersection of informal
care-giving within domestic, community and residential care homes
can create complex landscapes and organizational spatialities of
care. Drawing on contemporary case studies largely, but not
exclusively from the UK, the book reviews and develops a
theoretical basis for a geographical analysis of the issue of care.
By relating these theoretical concepts to empirical data and case
studies it illustrates how formal and informal care-giver responses
to the changing landscape of care can act to facilitate or
constrain the development of inclusionary models of care.
