SUMMARY In the 1700s, there were public poor houses; in the later 1800s, more humanistic not-for-profit homes for the aged; and by the mid-1900s, less humanistic, particularly proprietary, nursing homes. The 1970s witnessed the beginning of a burgeoning literature on piecemeal programs which are beneficial for residents but often have neither produced humanistic culture change nor have persisted. Also, these cultures did not emerge from even ambitious legislated reforms. Yet, the ingredients for humanistic cultures have appeared in many publications even though they have not been incorporated into practice. This article traces the history of humanistic approaches to care and the role of government in catalyzing change.
