Abstract

The goal of this chapter is to explore both conceptual and empirical advances in understanding the nature, determinants, social processes, and impact of long-term care (LTC) provided to elders in the United States. We call attention to relevant conceptual and research literature that can help readers connect current ideas and approaches to prior seminal research and theoretical formulations.
