This study of communication in an Assisted Living Facility (ALF) focuses on staff's interpretive frameworks and situational tactics for managing elderly residents. It is based on interviews with staff and residents in an ALF together with ethnographic fieldwork. As in other quasi-total institutions, staff members engage in control as well as care, monitoring residents for compliance with rules and directives. Residents, aware of the threat of being moved to a nursing home, also monitor their own behavior and cognition in comparison to other residents. Other communication issues include the infantilization of the elderly by staff, and the race, class, and ethnic prejudices of residents.
这项针对辅助生活设施（ALF）中沟通情况的研究聚焦于工作人员用于管理老年居民的解释框架和情境策略。它基于对一家辅助生活设施中的工作人员和居民的访谈以及人种志实地调查。与其他准全控机构一样，工作人员既要进行控制又要提供照料，监督居民是否遵守规则和指令。居民们意识到被送往养老院的威胁，也会将自己的行为和认知与其他居民进行比较来自我监督。其他沟通问题包括工作人员将老年人幼儿化，以及居民的种族、阶层和民族偏见。
