Into the house of old a history of residential care in British Columbia
"Into the House of Old is a remarkable dissection of the societal structures created in the last century to take care of the elderly. Using social and architectural theory, Megan Davies recreates institutional life as it evolved from the 1890s to the 1960s in response to the changing perceptions of the elderly - and particularly the elderly poor - by society, government, and a new group of professional social workers and health care providers. Into the House of Old provides a context for understanding the old age home, an institution that continues to reflect both the concern and ambivalence that North American society feels towards its eldest citizens."--Résumé de l'éditeur
