New book: A Place to Call Home: Long-Term Care in Canada

Edited by Pat Armstrong, Madeline Boscoe, Barbara Clow, 
Karen Grant, Margaret Haworth-Brockman, Beth Jackson, Ann 
Pederson, Morgan Seeley & Jane Springer

Long-term residential care operates in the shadows — too 
often viewed as a necessary evil and best left invisible. 
This book takes a different approach. It dares readers to 
dream about developing alternative forms of long-term, 
residential care based on an understanding of what exists 
today and what is possible in the future. Given the fact 
that the overwhelming majority of residents and providers 
are women, the book makes gender a central concern in 
planning for care that treats both workers and residents 
with dignity and respect.  This book jump starts the 
design of long-term care that would make us all feel at 
 home. At $15.95 (ISBN 9781552662939), it's available 
through your local independent bookstore, Fernwood Books 
at 416.703.3598  and [log in to unmask] or online at
