Creating a successful culturally sensitive home care program

Caring. 1995 Dec;14(12):12-4.

Abstract

Providing quality home care services to immigrants requires an integrated, holistic approach that genuinely addresses language and cultural differences. One home care agency in Massachusetts developed a team-oriented, culturally sensitive outreach program that ensures non-English-speaking patients the same level of service that the general population receives.
