In-home health services strive for client-centredness, involvement, and ultimately, empowerment, but economic constraint may undermine these aims. The purpose of this study was to explore the everyday experience of in-home care, with particular attention to the enactment of empowerment in the care partnership. In-depth interviews with a maximally varied sample of clients, informal caregivers, and providers uncovered relationships largely reflecting the traditional expert model of care. Findings afford insights into the unrecognized and undervalued personal knowledge of clients, caregivers, and in-home service providers, the professional and structural hegemony and consequent disempowered group behaviour of those who share the experience of care, and the hesitance of clients to engage as equitable partners in care. Strategies to achieve empowerment approaches to in-home health services are identified.
