Very little is known about why and when African American elders
seek formal long-term care, or about the characteristics of
assisted living environments they consider most desirable. Drawing
on qualitative studies conducted between 1998 and 2001, the authors
of Communities of Care provide important information on historic
and current trends in assisted living systems serving African
Americans.
Focusing on six facilities that have become models of long-term
care for African Americans, the authors shed light on the daily
lives of the people who live, work, and visit these "communities of
care."With detailed profiles of the facilities, interviews, and
case histories of care recipients, the authors explore both the
institutional and personal characteristics of the facilities and
the issues central to their residents.
This definitive work brings to the forefront critical questions
about how race, gender, and culture affect the quality of, access
to, and cost of care. These questions have broad implications for
the policy, administration, and operation of assisted living.
