| Annotation | Japanese American social service agencies and senior centres were created during the 1970s based on the needs of the first (Japanese speaking) and second (bilingual) generations of Japanese Americans. By 2011 the oldest baby boomers had turned 65. Acculturated, English-speaking Japanese American baby boomers may have different preferences about types of services and activities. This study compared the preferences of 230 Japanese American baby boomers and 183 seniors regarding ethnic-specific and nonethnic-specific social service and senior centre environments. Despite acculturation, the baby boomers preferred the mixed service environment that included both Japanese-specific and nonethnic-specific activities, suggesting the importance of maintaining Japanese culture.
