Winner of the Lavinia Dock Award from the American Association for the History of NursingHonorable Mention for the Association of American Publishers Professional/Scholarly Publishing Awards in Nursing and Allied HeathNo Place Like Home sets out to determine why home care, despite its potential as a costeffective alternative to institutional care, remains a marginalized experiment in care giving. Nurse and historian Karen BuhlerWilkerson traces the history of home care from its nineteenthcentury origins in organized visiting nurses' associations, through a time when professional home care nearly disappeared, on to the 1960s, when a new wave of home care gathered force as physicians, hospital managers, and policy makers responded to economic mandates. BuhlerWilkerson links local ideas about the formation and function of homebased services to national events and health care agendas, and she gives special attention to care of the 'dangerous' sick, particularly poor immigrants with infectious diseases, and the 'uninteresting' sickthose with chronic illnesses.
