Nursing homes are where some of the most vulnerable live and work.
In too many homes, the conditions of work make it difficult to make
care as good as it can be. For the last eight years an
international team from Germany, Sweden, Norway, the UK, the US and
Canada have been searching for promising practices that treat
residents, families and staff with dignity and respect in ways that
can also bring joy. While we did find ideas worth sharing, we also
saw a disturbing trend toward privatization. Privatization is the
process of moving away not only from public delivery and public
payment for health services but also from a commitment to shared
responsibility, democratic decision-making, and the idea that the
public sector operates according to a logic of service to all. This
book documents moves toward privatization in the six countries and
their consequences for families, staff, residents, and, eventually,
us all. None of the countries has escaped pressure from powerful
forces in and outside government pushing for privatization in all
its forms. However, the wide variations in the extent and nature of
privatization indicate privatization is not inevitable and our
research shows there are alternatives.
