In search for the "humane": staffs' perspectives on everyday activities in a nursing home.

DISCUSSION: For the staff, acting in a clandestine manner seems to create ways of enabling "humane" practices towards nursing home residents. The "clandestine manners" seem to be grounded in an effort on the part of the staff to make sense of the everyday activities for the nursing home residents. These "clandestine manners" could be seen as responses to institutional routines and a lack of common ground on the understanding of everyday activities in the context of nursing homes.
