The Amherst H. Wilder Foundation Community Services for Aging received a Live Well at Home grant to develop and test an initiative focused on caregiving in African American and Hmong communities.
To respond to the increasingly racially and ethnically diverse population of older adults and the need to support caregivers, Wilder’s Community Services for Aging developed and tested an initiative related to meeting the needs of caregivers in the African American and Hmong communities. This project included a literature review, findings summary, key informant interviews, and a summary from community convenings.
This is a summary of basic concepts, barriers, and opportunities to engage caregivers based on a review of recent research on caregivers from communities of color, combined with information shared by representatives from African American and Hmong communities.
