(On) life in an institutional care: the nursing home for the elderly - residents perspective
Апстракт
Paper analyzes the narratives of the nursing home residents with respect to their
life in the institution. In order to investigate how the elderly, see their life in nursing
home, we have dealt with topics that include their lived-through past, experienced
present and anticipated future. In our in-depth interviews with eight residents of a
private nursing home in the suburbs of the capital-they talk about the reasons for
moving to nursing home, practices of adapting to a new milieu, and expectations
both before and after arriving to the nursing facility. An additional topic- how to
design life in the institution came along. The findings indicate that moving into such
an institution is rarely an option that our interlocutors have chosen independently.
Despite the fact that everyday life is routinized, the nursing home life is praised. In
fact, the introspection and self-negotiation about the positive aspects of life at
nursing home are key elements of the strategy for designi...ng a uniform present and
exactly the same future.
