- Summary
- "In most Canadian provinces, people with severe physical disabilities are simply put in nursing homes where many people, especially in the age of home-care, are dying. It is difficult for a young person to live in a home geared for death. In Making a Home, Jen Powley tells the story of how she got young disabled people like herself out of nursing homes through developing a group home for adults with severe physical disabilities. This book makes a case for living in the community and against dehumanizing institutionalization."--
