| Annotation | Little research exists on the experience of older trauma survivors in long-term care settings. This study examined the experience of Holocaust survivors in community-based and facility-based long-term care. The study sought to ascertain whether Holocaust survivors had a systematically different experience in such settings compared to persons without a trauma experience in their backgrounds. Through interviews with survivors, American-born Jews in the same settings, family members and professional staff, it was found that that there were differences in certain aspects of mental health and emotional well-being. These differences were associated with the relative lack of a network of family members as compared to American-born Jews. (JL). |
