Abstract Similar to nursing homes, COVID-19 has challenged assisted living (AL), given its congregate nature and vulnerable residents. However, COVID-19 recommendations have not consistently recognized differences between nursing homes and AL, and in so doing present implications for the future of AL. This project examined COVID-19 recommendations from six key organizations and compared them across nursing homes and AL. Differences include recommending more flexible visitation and group activities for AL, while similarities suggest that AL may best integrate health care into offered services (e.g., work with consulting clinicians who know residents and the AL community). Primary points to be discussed are that COVID-19 may accelerate the closer coordination of social work and medical care into AL, because recommendations suggest AL would benefit from the services and expertise of nurses, social workers, and physicians. There seems to be an unmet need to mitigate loneliness in AL, which warrants specific attention moving forward.

Посредством историко-генетического анализа рассмотрены социокультурные детерминанты генезиса и эволюции социопатогенной платформы 1.0, оформление парадигмы филоптохии, что нашло своё отражение как в представленных дискурсах общественного здоровья, так и в реализации медицинской модели помощи и воспитания, по существу, обозначившей себя прообразом клинической социальной работы и клинической социальной педагогики. Sociocultural determinants of the genesis and evolution of the sociopathogenic platform 1.0 and the design of phyloptophy paradigm are examined in the article by means of historical and genetic analysis. This is reflected in the presented discourses of public health and in the implementation of the model of the medical care and education, which essentially designated itself as a prototype of clinical social work and clinical social pedagogy.

Welfare programs took months to develop in the War Relocation Authority camps. When aid finally reach the impoverished, it proved not only inadequate, but delivered through a Kafkaesque system designed to uphold the “radically abnormal” economic structure of the camps. Many conflicting factors were at play. Public assistance was a new phenomenon for the Nikkei; the deep reluctance to accept aid was slow to ebb and never entirely jettisoned. The concentration camps were, however, costly places to live; while subsistence food, shelter, and basic medical care were provided, private funds were necessary to purchase all else required for daily living. While the Nikkei Welfare Section workers believed public assistance was necessary reparation rather than unearned charity, a deeply held censure of aid—lest it breed dependency, fund the undeserving, coddle the enemy—existed on the part of the Caucasian administrators. Even the begrudgingly doled and unequivocally insufficient aid was difficult to obtain.

In France, the concept of ‘parentality’ has become a key notion in the field of social work since the mid-1990s. This idea serves mostly as a basis for professional evaluations of parents’ ability. However, it does not only prescribe behaviors and implement norms; it has also transformed the way people consider their own family attachments, and adjust individually to new ethical definitions of selves. Based on two complementary ethnographic field studies – one looking at the administrative management of adoption and the other at medical care provision for maternal mental health – this article shows how discourses and practices about parentality serve a policy of self-reform. This article therefore questions how politics of control and regulation that are deployed in the privacy of the family sphere act on an ethical level by inviting subjects to reform themselves for their own good and for the good of others.
