Contexts impact on care experiences
A more explicit finding demonstrates how the care work environment influence the relationship between home care workers, clients, and the families. Meyer (2015) conducted an anthropology research focusing on immigrant care workers from South America to Genoa, the city with the highest percentage of the older population in Italy, to provide private home care services. The study included focus group, group interviews, and individual interviews during 2009-2010. She approached the participants at Spanish-language church services, care worker training courses, and other immigrant events. Historical settings regarding the labor unions in Italy, social understanding, and political

Meyer demonstrates how these immigrant home care workers engage self-engineering techniques or optimization to perform caring and being ideal workers with skills and knowledge. The use of relationship related to the clients’ family members or friends who play a role of informal supervisor. Knowing from the interview, there were 80% of informal supervisors were female relatives of the clients, which called Padrona (boss) in Italian. A female home care worker from Ecuador described how she felt the daughter of the client projected her frustration onto her by showing anger all the time. But then she mitigated the plight by telling the daughter that they both want the client to have good care, and be happy. Another case succeeds in managing employer supervisory behavior after built up a positive relationship with the client’s son, who is “capo (the boss)” in the family. He said to the home care worker “Go out when you need to, just make sure my mother is comfortable.” He showed respect and acknowledged that his mother can stay healthy is because of the care worker. The strategic relationship could begin with developing a positive and close friendship that allies with the Padrona or capo, and then managing employer supervisory behavior to build
Seniors with breathing issues are not able to take in as much air into their lungs as they did prior to their breathing issues. Further, the air that they do take in is not processed as efficiently. In the end, this means there is less oxygen getting to the cells. Less oxygen means less energy.

I believe each younger generation is the current generation future so we should teach our children right and watch them grow. We should support our children to the highest standard and let them know to never be afraid to want to know more. We should encourage our children to do their best and try their best at all times. I say this because our children need us they need us to let them know they are safe and that we will not harm them in any way. I want to know why and how some people could ever harm a child. Unfortunately somethings cannot be explained or figured out sometimes we just have to live without knowing. Before, during, and after trauma we are supposed to be there to shelter our child. There needs to be a better protection service
The Canadian government has implemented measures to increase the availability of in home care givers in Canada. The laws that have been created have allowed for many people to become fully pledged Canadian citizens. Many of the people coming into Canada to fill in in house care givers vacancies have been predominantly Pilipino women. These women are given the promise of become a Canadian citizen. After an extensive and costly application process these women from the Philippines are placed in the homes of their employer. The migrant work must live within the employers home for a period no shorter than two years, and must maintain only one employer in the two year waiting .l period. Only once the two year commitment is fulfilled is the migrant worker allowed to apply to Canadian citizenship. Many of these workers come to canada with the promise of have social upwards mobility through the program. However, although the program sounds promising the reality of the program is to
Nursing home abuse takes place when nursing assistants, caregivers or employees in a nursing facility intentionally does something that can cause harm to adults who are weak and vulnerable. There are many different forms of nursing home abuse. There are mainly sociological and cultural issues, and most cases of elder abuse are usually caused by several factors.

Over the past few decades there has been an increasing emphasis on self-care and home health care. Due to the Recent changes in health care towards individual’s autonomy and self-control, increasing aging population, the shift from acute to chronic diseases and early discharge policies, many health care services that were previously provided in hospital settings are now being shifted to home (CHCA 2014, CHA 2009). Although the demand for home care has a significant increasing trend (HGO 2015), yet Canadians are not entitled to home care services under the Canadian Health Act (CHA 1985). Home health care services are provided under the name of “extended service”, meaning
In 2013, Dorota Slawa Mankowska et al, worked on real study for a home care company that present the care for the at patients in their homes by staff members. They developed the mathematical model that aim to optimizing economical service cost and take care about individual qualifications of the staff, time preferences of patients, number of the staff required to this patient and certain time of patient’s drugs. This model has been able to achieve low average waiting times for patients, low traveling cost for caregivers, a fair distribution of inevitable tardiness, and service hundred patients in acceptable runtime.

Analysis of the selected article for this review suggests that self-care practice in senior immigrants is contextual and interpersonal. Although home care and slef-care movement primarily aimed to emphasize on the independence and autonomy of individuals by taking control over their health management and rejecting the ”sick role”, failing to consider complex factors influencing client’s ability to manage their condition will damage the client’s sense of self and impede how they approach their illness. The majority of articles indicated that although immigrant individuals and families are willing to take the responsibility of care for themselves and their aging relatives, they do not have the required knowledge and resources. The inconsistency between what the person is expected to do and the real features of her life makes the person to reconsider her relations and re-visit
During these times these subjects may take different forms in either mandating that woman stay at home while doing carework or even questioning the different roles and responsibilities of women in public life. Kittay puts it best when she says “When we acknowledge not only our global interdependence, but the inevitable dependencies of our species being, we bring to light our human commonalities” (464) and “Exploring the role of care and dependency in a politics of difference reveals that we ought not to speak of the crisis of care or the crisis of longterm care but of the crisis of care” (464). Care needs to work both ways. Care needs to ensure that those giving the care is taken care of but also the carer is taken care of. Without the carer then there would be no one to give the
Part I: The article, The Meaning of Family Caregiving in Japan and the United States: A Qualitative Comparative Study, written by Margaret Wallhagen and Noriko Yamamoto-Mitani, compares care giving and its effects in the United States and Japan. This article specifically looks at women caregivers who work with elderly people diagnosed with dementia, a disease that is common with age (Wallhagen & Yamamoto-Mitani, 2006, p.65). The role of care giving is extremely different amongst the two cultures, that can be narrowed down into “three categories: reasons for care giving, care giving as a career, and care giving as a life phase or detour.” In both cultures, the caregivers are usually female adults who provide care for their parents or
