As Asian Americans age, many look for options that allow them to remain in their homes “I know they are taking good care of people in nursing homes. But I just don't like it.”
to care for their older adults though many may not have the resources to choose their preferred care situation. In 2016, 11.8 percent of Asian Americans, ages 65 and older, were at or below the poverty level. In comparison, the rate for older Americans overall was 9.3 percent.
The needs of older adults are prominent concerns in many immigrant communities. In 1973, a senior services organization called On Lok, which is Cantonese for “peaceful, happy home,” pioneered a model that mixed home care with time at a day center in San Francisco’s Chinatown. “Less and less people and if given a choice nobody wants to move out of their home,” Wong said. “It’s a national trend that transcends ethnicity.”, which matches non-medical home care aides with older people who live at home. With funding from the Illinois Department on Aging, the groups are able to fill what was a niche in the Chicago area, according to Kulsoom Fatima Khan, Sahara’s public relations coordinator.
