Continuing Care

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

52.7K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Summary

Financialized ownership of long-term care homes is increasing in Canada, leading to worse resident outcomes and higher COVID-19 death rates. Removing profit from elder care is essential for improving quality and safety in the sector.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Health Services Research
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • For-profit ownership in long-term care (LTC) is associated with adverse resident outcomes.
  • Financialization is increasing in Canadian seniors' housing, with firms treating LTC and retirement residences as investment products.
  • Top firms have doubled holdings between 2003-2020, with 33% of seniors' housing now financially owned.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the impact of for-profit and financialized ownership on resident outcomes in Canadian long-term care homes.
  • To highlight the trend of financialization within the seniors' housing sector.
  • To advocate for policy changes to mitigate negative consequences of profit-driven care models.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of ownership structures in Canadian seniors' housing.

  • Comparison of resident outcomes, including death rates, between different ownership models.
  • Review of business strategies employed by financialized firms in the LTC sector.

    • Main Results:

    • For-profit and financialized LTC operators in Ontario showed higher death rates during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    • Financialized firms prioritize profit from real estate, domestic, and care operations.
    • Significant growth in private equity, institutional, and financial firm ownership of LTC and retirement homes.

    Conclusions:

    • The current model of for-profit and financialized long-term care is detrimental to resident well-being.
    • A fundamental restructuring of the sector is required to eliminate profit motives from elder care.
    • Policy interventions are needed to ensure quality and safety in long-term care facilities.
