The Paradox of Aging in Place in Assisted Living Hardback

Description

Operators of assisted living facilities interpret aging in place very differently than residents do.

This difference in interpretation must be taken into account by regulators, policymakers, and operators so that they may reconsider assisted living's place along the traditional continuum of care. With the growing number of assisted living facilities opening across the United States, it is essential for scholars and practitioners to understand residents' experiences in these environments.

The author examines the ideals versus the realities of assisted living and the aging in place/continuum of care debate surrounding assisted living. While the author presents the results of a detailed, comprehensive anthropological study, she also addresses policy issues which are of concern on the national level.

The book combines academic and applied approaches to create an ethnographic fieldwork investigation relevant to housing and health care policies for the elderly in the United States.
