Dust-jacket in very good condition, with only slight creasing to front flap. Binding is in excellent condition, and pages are clean and unmarked. This book sets out to determine why home care, a preferred, rational, and cost-effective alternative to institutional care, remains a marginalized experiment in care-giving. Nurse-historian Karen Buhler-Wilkerson traces the history of home care from its 19th-century origins in organized visiting nurses' associations, through a time when professional home care nearly disappeared, to the 1960s, when a new wave of home care gathered force. From the nursing history collection of Sarah Abrams. Hardcover, very good condition. 293 pages, octavo.
