Abstract

Patterns of migration and aging are reflected in the care and welfare needs of minority ethnic (ME) elders in developed countries, with implications for policy, service design, and care delivery. ME elders have a higher incidence of ill health and poverty, while underusing care services. They are hardnosed in their expectations of care services, identifying dedicated care, communication, and access as paramount. Minority voluntary organizations play a critical role in meeting unmet care needs. Mainstream social care, health, and housing providers and professionals increasingly recognize the specific needs of ME elders, but investment in this area is essential.
