Description: This book addresses key concerns about the nature and site of care and care-giving. It utilizes geographical perspectives to present a comprehensive analysis of how the intersection of informal care-giving within domestic and residential care homes can create complex landscapes and organizational spatialities of care.

Review Quotes: 'This book fills a significant gap in the literature on health and social care in today's ageing societies. In an engaging overview, from a health geography perspective, it emphasises the importance of varying settings for care, changing societies and technologies and the roles of informal as well as formal carers.' Sarah Curtis, Durham University, UK '...a timely and valuable contribution to emerging work in the geography of care and care-giving... This book will be of interest to students and researchers working in the health and social sciences.' The Journal of Ageing and Society
