Long-term care planning and preferences among Japanese American baby boomers: Comparison with non-Japanese Americans

摘要

AimsNikkei (Japanese American) communities are known to be forerunners for building culturally sensitive long-term care (LTC) services and programs. Existing literature highlights evolving cultural shifts among Nikkei communities as well as the baby boomers from the previous aging cohort. The present study's primary purpose was to examine Japanese American (JA) boomers' perceptions about their LTC planning compared with their non-JA counterparts. JA's residential and care preferences were also examined.
