Planning for Older Adult Day Programs in an Arab American Community: Perceptions From Older Adults, Caregivers, and Professional Providers.
Journal of Applied Gerontology : the Official Journal of the Southern Gerontological Society 2019 January 23
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This study explored Arab American stakeholders' perceptions about potential future adult day programming to inform geriatric service providers about relevant services for culturally diverse older adults.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD: Participants ( N = 28) in five focus groups were recruited through a social service provider in Metropolitan Detroit, Michigan. Results were analyzed using thematic analysis.
RESULTS: Themes included basic requirements, promoting clear and transparent understanding of adult day programs (ADPs), respecting the person, social engagement and activities, explaining complex ethnic and geographic identities, and implementing diversity. Discussion and Implications: ADP service providers can enhance services by drawing on the life experiences, resilience, and creativity of older Arab Americans. Person-focused policies and programs that draw on the strengths of the diverse local community should be developed and communicated clearly for potential participants, family members, and service providers.
