Description

Explore a significant period in American social history with Caring for the Chronically Ill: Philadelphia, 1945-1965. Part of the Garland Studies on the Elderly in America series, this book examines how organizations reacted to changing human population needs during the mid-twentieth century. As the demand for chronic care rose rapidly between 1945 and 1965, previous solutions became inadequate. This text traces the efforts of community leaders and politicians as they promoted new approaches to long-term care services. It provides a detailed look at the challenges faced when attempting to build an effective system without adequate financing. This scholarly work offers a look at the transition from acute care to the complex needs of chronic care. It is an essential resource for those studying medical, legal, and social sciences, specifically within the context of anthropology and sociology. Understand the historical foundations of how long-term care systems were shaped in response to shifting societal demands.
