This is the only collection of its kind to offer an inside view
of life and work in contemporary nursing homes with the purpose of
developing a theory of the culture of long term care. The
anthropological research in nursing homes presented here produces a
seldom seen native view of patients, staff, and the day-to-day
workings of American nursing homes. The use of ethnographic methods
penetrates the reality barriers found in industry descriptions,
muck-raking discourse, and general societal aversion toward nursing
homes. The tensions found between and within staff culture and
patient culture are explored in terms of adaptations to
institutional life in the context of current policy and the larger
American ageist culture.
