| Annotation | This is the ninth in a series of 14 articles on the theme, Caring for older people. The numbers of older people from ethnic groups within Britain is rising rapidly as postwar immigrants age. Ethnic elders face problems owing to age-associated increased risks of common chronic diseases, racial discrimination, and poor access to many health services and social services. The myths that ethnic group family care suffices, that no use of services implies no need, and that assimilation into the population will occur must be discounted. |
