This book studies communication in institutional eldercare. It is
based on audio-recorded interactions between residents and staff in
a Japanese care facility. The focus is on the morning care
routines, which include getting the residents out of bed and ready
for the day. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, the
analysis explores the characteristics of care communication as they
become manifest in the interactional small print. Topics include
the use of terms of address and formal speech, the basic
organisation of openings and closings, the difficulties of talking
while working-and, at times, working while talking-and tempo
differences between residents and staff as they move along between
bed and breakfast. The research findings are contextualised with
results from previous studies, tracing significant features and
explanation for deviant cases. The author is a trained linguist and
certified nursing assistant with first-hand working experience in
institutional eldercare.
