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.

When Susan MacLeod accompanied her 90-year-old mother through a labyrinthine long-term care system, it was a nine-year journey navigating a government within a heart in a system without compassion. Her family, much like the system, erected walls rather than opening arms. She found herself involuntarily placed at the pivot point between her frail, elderly mother's need for love and companionship, the system's inability to deliver, and her brother's indifference. She had also spent three years as a government spokesperson enthusiastically defending the very system she now experienced as brutally cold. MacLeod's tone is defined by a gentle, self-effacing humour touched by exasperation for the absurdities and the newfound wisdom around expectations.Dying for Attention is the latest memoir in the graphic medicine field, shelved alongside My Begging Chart by Keiler Roberts and Tangles by Sarah Leavitt. MacLeod includes helpful tips for communicating with nursing homes, as well as background research, to provide a larger context for this under-discussed experience.

Introducing life story work, a way for people with dementia to connect with their relatives, carers and the professionals working with them. This evidence-based book explains the many benefits of life story work, with practical guidance for introducing it in a variety of settings. The authors show how life story work can empower people with dementia to inform care practitioners and family members what care and support they may need now and in the future, by taking into account their past and their future wishes and aspirations. The book includes practical information on how to get started, ethical considerations such as consent and confidentiality, and considers issues of diversity and how to address them. The voices of practitioners, researchers and family carers sit alongside those of people living with dementia to present a wide-range of perspectives on life story work.

The Problem Our current healthcare system is increasingly incompatible with the needs of our population, particularly with regard to chronic illness and long-term care (LTC). Despite widespread dissatisfaction, major reforms are not in sight. Why is this the case? The reluctance to confront the realities goes beyond simple denial - it is not even considered a topic worthy of discussion. The central symbol of LTC is the Nursing Home, the unfortunate marriage of the hospital and homeless shelter. The mistaken stereotype is nursing homes are smelly, unattractive and filled with frail, weird and half-dead people. Current attitudes reflect the belief that nothing can be done and the clinical situation is hopeless. As a society, we will not invest in LTC until we believe it is worth it. The Challenge and the Key to a Solution The basic challenge is to humanize the people in LTC and show they benefit from care. Until LTC has a better image few will advocate for more innovation and the image is unlikely to change. The paradox is that care is nursing homes is generally high quality in spite of a fragmented, understaffed, dysfunctional health care system. Long-term care is a necessary aspect of life for many individuals, yet it is a relatively unexplored topic in storytelling. Through this book, I aim to challenge societal myths, stereotypes and misconceptions about long-term care and the value of elderly and disabled individuals who live there. I hope to offer insights and understanding into the world of long-term care. The stories in this book reflect the intimate and personal nature of nursing home care, as well as the unique dilemmas and social boundaries that are encountered in this field. They showcase the spectrum of human life that LTC encompasses, with patients from all walks of life and a wide range of experiences, emotions, and challenges. I have learned many valuable life lessons from the people and through the experiences I have encountered in nursing home care. My goal is to share these lessons with readers through this book.The stories in this book also highlight the importance of compassion, empathy, and understanding in the care of elderly and disabled individuals. They emphasize the positive impact that simple, compassionate interventions can have on personal well-being. I believe that stories have the power to serve as messengers of deep teaching. Each story offers a valuable lesson or insight. Whether you are a healthcare professional, a family member of someone in long-term care, or simply interested in learning more about the world of long-term care, this book has something useful to offer.

Based on the belief that older people have good stories to tell, Story Writing in a Nursing Home was developed as part of a volunteer teaching service to a nursing home. Graduate students who were learning to teach this special population conducted story writing activities with older adults and found that even the frail elderly who are confined to nursing centers provided a unique perspective about events that emphasize the lasting verities in life. The information, memories, and humor the elderly see in situations is worth recording. In addition, Story Writing in a Nursing Home emphasizes the way to develop the mental stimulation that is so important for physical well being. This sensitive and insightful book provides a lesson plan outline and the type of content that was used as an example. It also provides a running commentary in the form of a diary that tells how to begin a teaching program for nursing center residents. Students and professionals interested in implementing a similar program can use these ideas for planning and for organizing the use of student help to better serve the population.

Welcome to Dagmarsminde, an innovative nursing home in Denmark with a remarkable and life-affirming approach to dementia care. The founder and staff of this replicable model strive to help persons with dementia enjoy a rich, normal-feeling life. Following person-centered practices, daily life includes routines focused on good nutrition, contact with nature, healthy physical activities, and as much independence in activities of daily living as possible. The needs and progress of each resident are paramount. The approach followed at Dagmarsminde is described from the time a new resident arrives at the home until the person has died, contrasting it with the new standard practices of nursing home care and challenging readers to consider new, more satisfying ways of working with people living with dementia.

This collection of stories marks Singapore’s first book on creation care. Each story captures how ordinary Christians from different walks of life have humbly put their faith into radical action, and integrated the biblical ethos of creation care into the everyday. The writers reflect on creation care as an organic part of the path of discipleship and missional living, rather than an imposed or burdensome duty. The book presents a refreshing local perspective on the distinctiveness of Christian environmental ethics, seeks to encourage fellow Christians on this creation care journey, and inspire those who have yet to begin. Ultimately, it is an invitation to followers of Christ to care for God’s marvellous creation as an act of worship and love.
