Speaking of Life Horizons of Meaning for Nursing Home Residents

Using data drawn from interviews with nursing home residents, Gubrium explores the quality of long-term care they receive and the resulting quality of their lives. In their own voices, these "long-stayers" reveal themselves to be biographically active and widely diverse in their concern and involvement with home, family, life history, dependence, isolation and self-worth. The resulting text provides conceptual, methodological and personal lessons as offered by storytellers whose special circumstances continue to have meaning even at the very end of life.Gubrium, Jaber F. is the author of 'Speaking of Life Horizons of Meaning for Nursing Home Residents' with ISBN 9780202304823 and ISBN 0202304825.
