| Description | This article examines how the broader societal discourse of individualisation permeates the field of care for older adults through the example of food provision in nursing homes and memory care units. Drawing on a critical discursive analysis of interviews with care staff, the study identifies key discourses that shape how individualisation is articulated and enacted within institutional settings. The analysis highlights how economic, organisational, and institutional factors, as well as the roles attributed to clients and their families, contribute to specific constructions of individualised food provision. The article explores how the rhetoric of individualisation is embedded in professional talk and reflects broader shifts in the governance and expectations of care. |
