Institutional care for seniors offers a cultural repository for
fears and hopes about an aging population. Although enormous
changes have occurred in how institutional care is structured, the
legacies of the poorhouse still persist, creating panicked views of
the nursing home as a dreaded fate. The paradoxical nature of a
space meant to be both hospital and home offers up critical
tensions for examination by age studies scholars. The essays in
this book challenge stereotypes of institutional care for older
adults, illustrate the changes that have occurred over time, and
illuminate the continuities in the stories we tell about nursing
homes.
