Publisher's Note
This is the only collection of its kind to offer an inside view of life and work in contemporary nursing homes with the purpose of developing a theory of the culture of long term care. The anthropological research in nursing homes presented here produces a seldom seen "native view" of patients, staff, and the day-to-day workings of American nursing homes. The use of ethnographic methods penetrates the reality barriers found in industry descriptions, muck-raking discourse, and general societal aversion toward nursing homes. The tensions found between and within staff culture and patient culture are explored in terms of adaptations to institutional life in the context of current policy and the larger American ageist culture.

Industry Reviews
Anthropologists, sociologists, and researchers in medicine and nursing present perspectives on nursing homes by people who live, work, visit, and volunteer in them. The 12 studies grapple with methodological and ethical issues regarding such research, and highlight the tension between care giving and medical models of our society's accommodation of old people.
