Description
Liwam Nerayo, Jasmine Travers, and Laura Wagner survey racism faced by staff in long-term care homes, where a growing share of both residents with dementia and care workers come from minority groups. Past reports describe slurs and abuse aimed at minority staff by residents. Their 2023 study builds and pilots a survey tool for this problem, then sends it to hundreds of homes.
Among the first one hundred thirteen nursing assistants and vocational nurses who answered, most reported warm views of residents and no racism. But a third had faced it, mostly as verbal insults, then care refusal. Most victims felt backed by their manager, yet only half were reassigned. Nearly eighty percent said racist residents are harder to care for. More data are coming, the authors note.
