| Annotation | This article is based on qualitative research carried out with members of the Sikh community caring for a person with dementia. The aim of the research was to explore how migration experiences and life histories affect perceptions and experiences of caring for a family member with dementia for Sikhs living in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands. The research sought to provide an in-depth understanding of the experiences of Sikhs caring for their family member with dementia using narrative interviews. Twelve Sikh carers of a family member with dementia were interviewed. The findings highlight that migration experiences and migration identities are important for understanding participants' experiences of services and experiences of caring for a family member with dementia. Person-centred dementia care as a model for practice highlights the importance of understanding life histories to support people to live well with dementia, including their family carers. This paper reinforces this message, demonstrating the impact of specific migration experiences on the experiences of caring for a family member with dementia. (RH). |
