Document Summary

Home care is more of a neo-liberal option, cheaper, humanitarian. The language of these agencies talk about the instrumental practical aspects of labour. Problematic in the homes, because private and informal, extra-emphasized, more likely to be fluid. Neo-liberal cutbacks= increasing attempts to impose practical task definition of homecare and impose boundaries. Emotional component: they do work beyond the call of duty; gift giving and friendship bonds. Difficult to put into words, rules and regulations don"t offer any way to conceive of this. Limits to practice that real resistance would have. Workers put personalization into elderly people care, but are not reimbursed for work: not exactly voluntary free choice, coerced to do so, sense of moral compulsion, weak position, supervisors count on workers having an ethic of care. Need to formalize an ethics of care and challenge the notion that caring comes naturally. Professionalization makes it so that there"s no emotional attachment but in reality, there is.
