“The kids probably installed these for grandma” – Older adults’ representations of ICT non-users
Studies of older adults’ use of information and communication technologies (ICT) tend to divide them into two groups: users and non-users. The definition of non-user varies by context and is often set externally (e.g. by frequency or skill level), while the way in which older adults negotiate these distinctions receives less attention. Understanding older adults’ views and expectations regarding information and communication technologies is requi…
Nature in the neighborhood”

Standardised functional assessment in long-term care for older people
Objective measures and documentation are increasingly used in the care for older people to promote efficiency and productivity. A standardised assessment of functional capacity is one such measure. In this study, we examined the meanings given to standardised functional assessment by care workers who provide long-term care for older people. Gathered from eight Finnish long-term care facilities, the data consisted of one-on-one interviews with pra…
Family's role in long‐term care—A qualitative study of Finnish family members' experiences on supporting the functional ability of an older relative
Family members are important providers of care for older people. In residential long-term care, however, their role is not always simple and straightforward: responsibility for care provision rests officially with staff members, but in practice family members often contribute to providing care. The main reason for admission to long-term care is functional decline. At the same time, the maintenance of functional ability is a central goal in long-t…
Aging well in the community
Older peoples' independent living in their own homes and their ability to move around and maintain social relations in their communities have been acknowledged as important aims to support their well-being. In this article, we study Special Transport Services as a means to support older persons with 'aging in place' - that is, within their communities. From "go-alongs" (shared dial-a-ride bus journeys) and "sit-down interviews" (at participant's …

These two countries are at different stages regarding two important global trends – demographic ageing and digitalization. Finland, being the fastest ageing society in Europe, is also one of the leaders in implementing digital technologies in social and health care services. In contrast, Ireland is a demographically younger and less digitalized so…

To work or to care? Working women's decision-making
Recent changes in older people's public care services in Nordic countries in particular in Finland and Sweden are based on implicit expectations that family members will increase their involvement in care. In Nordic countries, the care of small children has been acknowledged to be a social matter that concerns gender equality and the work life participation of both men and women, while the situation of working carers of older people is much less …

Moral Argumentation in Talk about Health and Old Age
This study examines the ways in which people aged 90 or over construct and negotiate meanings of health in research interviews. Detailed analyses of two interview cases illustrate the flow of these negotiations within interviews, and how the interviewees balance different moral arguments. First, the interviewees try to manage the face-threat posed by the questioning about health. Second, their health accounts move on the axis of advocating good h…
