This is a book on how home is made when care enters the lives of people as they grow old at home or in â€˜homelyâ€™ institutions. Throughout the book, contributors show how home is a verb: it is something people do. Home is thus always in the making, temporal, contested, and open to negotiation and experimentation. By bringing together approaches from STS, anthropology, health humanities and health care studies, the book points to the importance of peoples tinkerings and experiments with making home, as it is here that home is being made and unmade.
