Turning It Over to God: African American Assisted Living Residents’ End-of-Life Preferences and Advance Care Planning
OBJECTIVES: Assisted living (AL), a popular long-term care setting for older Americans, increasingly is a site for end-of-life care. Although most residents prefer AL to be their final home, relatively little is known about end-of-life preferences and advance care planning, especially among African American residents. Our research addresses this knowledge gap. METHODS: Informed by grounded theory, we present an analysis of qualitative data collec…
I'm not terribly lonely”: Advancing the understanding of intimacy among older adults
You gotta have your cry”: Administrator and direct care worker experiences of death in assisted living
It’s Going to be Different for Everyone”: Negotiating Quality of Life and Care Priorities Within Care Convoys
Objective: The overall goal of this analysis was to learn about residents' quality of life and quality of care in assisted living over time and from multiple viewpoints within support networks. Method: This grounded theory analysis examined qualitative data collected from 50 residents and 169 of their care network members followed over two consecutive 2-year periods in 8 diverse settings. Results: Quality involved a dynamic process of "negotiatin…
Limiting and Promoting Resident Self-Care in Assisted Living
Strategies for promoting self-care must involve residents and care partners and include convoy education in collaborative goal-setting, prioritizing care that supports the goals, and putting resources in place to support goal achievement
Complexity of care: Stressors and strengths among low-income mother-daughter dyads
Research on informal care for older adults tends to consider middle- and upper-class individuals. Consequently, less is known about caregiving among low-income families. We present findings from an exploratory qualitative study of low-income African American mothers (n = 5) and their caregiving daughters (n = 5). Guided by a feminist framework, we consider how individual, familial, and societal factors contribute to the intersectional complexitie…
Contours of “here”: Phenomenology of space for assisted living residents approaching end of life
Maneuvering Together, Apart, and at Odds: Residents’ Care Convoys in Assisted Living
Care convoys clearly shape care experiences and outcomes. Identifying strategies for establishing effective communication and collaboration practices and promoting convoy member consensus, particularly over time, is essential to the creation and maintenance of successful and supportive care partnerships
Exposing the Backstage: Critical Reflections on a Longitudinal Qualitative Study of Residents' Care Networks in Assisted Living
In this article, we analyze the research experiences associated with a longitudinal qualitative study of residents' care networks in assisted living. Using data from researcher meetings, field notes, and memos, we critically examine our design and decision making and accompanying methodological implications. We focus on one complete wave of data collection involving 28 residents and 114 care network members in four diverse settings followed for 2…
This is our last stop”: Negotiating end-of-life transitions in assisted living
Coming together and pulling apart: Exploring the influence of functional status on co-resident relationships in assisted living
Strangers and Friends: Residents' Social Careers in Assisted Living
Our explanatory framework reveals the dynamic and variable nature of coresident relationships and raises additional questions about social career variability, trajectories, and transitions. We discuss implications for practice including the need for useable spaces, thoughtful activity programming, and the promotion of neighboring through staff and family involvement
Convoys of care: Theorizing intersections of formal and informal care
Married Couples in Assisted Living: Adult Children’s Experiences Providing Support
Being married in later life often prevents relocation to long-term care settings, but couples do relocate to these environments. Typically, this transition does not mark the end of support provided by families, especially adult children. Little is known about children's experiences providing support in care settings when both parents are involved. This article presents an analysis of qualitative data from a study involving 20 married couples livi…
One should follow the wind”: Individualized filial piety and support exchanges in Indian immigrant families in the United States
Negotiating actual and anticipated parental support: Multiple sibling voices in three-generation families
Intersections of age and masculinities in the information technology industry
This paper explores the intersections of age and masculinities in small information technology (IT) firms in Canada. The IT workforce, although demographically young, does not entirely comprise younger workers but is dominated by men and is ageing. Despite the infamous ‘nerd’ stereotype of IT workers and its associations with immature age and masculinity, perceptions of age and ageing in the industry have not been considered in the context of mas…
Grandparent-Grandchild Ties: Reflections on Continuity and Change Across Three Generations
Within the context of social, demographic, and historical change and informed by a life course perspective, this article examines patterns of relating between grandparents and grandchildren within families across and within generations. Using qualitative data from a study of 10 multigenerational families ( N = 86), the analysis assesses continuity and change in grandparent-grandchild ties across three generations of adults. Although findings reve…

Grand' Expectations: The Experiences of Grandparents and Adult Grandchildren
Within the context of social and demographic change and in dialogue with theories of individualization and the concept of intergenerational ambivalence, this paper explores the existence of normative "grand" role expectations among grandparents and adult grandchildren. The data from qualitative life-history interviews with both generations (n=37) indicate that while sometimes proscriptive rather than prescriptive, there are identifiable, albeit g…
The allocation of responsibility for later life: Canadian reflections on the roles of individuals, government, employers and families
Set against the backdrop of an ageing population and the discourse surrounding old age, risk and the welfare state, this paper draws on 51 semi-structured life-history interviews to examine how mid- and late-life Canadians discuss and allocate responsibility for the provision of social, financial and medical supports in later life. Whatever their personal circumstances, most individuals articulated sentiments of personal responsibility for later …
The Social and Demographic Contours of Contemporary Grandparenthood: Mapping Patterns in Canada and the United States
Although there exists a growing body ofliterature dedicated to understanding the complexities of grandparenting, few researchers have documented the demographic patterns and social trends that encompass contemporary grandparenthood. Concomitantly, in instances where researchers have described such patterns, data are largely derived from studies profiling American populations. This paper, therefore, first establishes social patterns in Canadian gr…
Anthropological stranger: The intellectual trajectory of Hortense Powdermaker
This article investigates the life and works of Hortense Powdermaker (1896-1970). In contradistinction to the intellectual climate of her times, Powdermaker's intellectual trajectory can be characterised as eclectic, dynamic and forward thinking. Spanning nearly four decades, Powdermaker's academic career was dedicated to developing a distinct 'anthropological vision'. Yet, although she conducted studies of culture and society that transcended st…
