The strong point of this book is its use of the ethnographic methodology to situate in greater detail the conditions of the elderly in a "home." The human focus is highlighted and the individual response to institutionalization, as well as the bureaucratic milieu against which interactions are framed, are aptly described. I recommend this book to researchers and practitioners of gerontology so that they may appreciate and understand elderly culture better. -Dr. Trinidad S. Osteria (Director, Social Development Research Center, De La Salle University)
