Abstract:
The use of photography is described as a method embedded within an ethnographic investigation of rural home care for older adults. Photography fostered data generation, elicited participants' stories, and illustrated patterns of rural aging. Analysis of photographic data pooled with interview and observational data facilitated an in-depth understanding of rural aging and home health care.
