Institutional care for seniors serves as a cultural reservoir for fears and aspirations surrounding an aging population. While significant transformations have occurred in the structure of institutional care, remnants of the poorhouse endure, perpetuating anxious perceptions of the nursing home as an inevitable destiny. The paradoxical nature of a space designed to serve as both a hospital and a home presents profound tensions that warrant exploration by scholars in the field of age studies. The essays collected in this book confront prevailing stereotypes about institutional care for older adults, showcase the evolution of these practices over time, and shed light on the enduring narratives we construct about nursing homes.

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.
