Recognizing Cultural Diversity in Service Delivery to Older Adults
Aging is a universal experience. Of those who reach age 65, 70 percent will require long-term care at some point. These services are often well-intentioned, but may fail to recognize the diversity of the population they serve. It is important for service providers to learn about the value of delivering culturally competent services to meet the needs of the diverse individuals that they serve. Listen to this podcast to learn more about the important components to consider when it comes to diversity and inclusion and hear from organizations who are making great strides in this arena.
