    I have been working in a nursing home for a little over a year as a dietary aide and have witnessed many problems within the dietary department. The root cause to all of the problems in the dietary department is bad management from my former manager, Sara. Sara was the dietary manager whose job was to manage the kitchen staff, order food and supplies, and plan out meals and snacks for special events at the nursing home.

    Living in the United States as a woman is difficult. Living in the United States as a poor woman of color, on the other hand, is a completely different burdensome situation. Not only are women of color subject to the trifecta of sexism, racism, and classism, but they are also exploited by the government for their labor. In their essay, “Organizing Home Care,” Jennifer Klein and Eileen Boris argue that home care is the government’s method of saving money by taking advantage of poor women of color. As opposed to nursing homes, which are viewed as costly forms of institutionalization, home health care is the preferred option by both clients and the client’s loved ones, who are unable to care for them themselves.…

In elderly care practice in urban China, some international policies referring to marketisation of care (i.e. contracting out services to private providers, cash for care, tax concessions, subsidies, etc.), have been applied for trials to encourage the participation of various social resources (Jing, 2009). For example, driven by the ideas of ‘small state’ and ‘indirect state’, contracting out part of the services to private institutions is a reasonable choice for the state (Jing, 2009).
