| Annotation | Contemporary American health care emphasises technical, biomedical approaches to most problems related to ageing, chronic illness and frailty. However, evidence from qualitative research, personal narratives about life in a nursing home, and observations from the author's work in a resident-centred nursing home gardening programme illustrate the benefits of a sociocultural conceptual framework in therapeutic practice. |
