Description
Isis Panellas and Richard Beaulaurier review social barriers to COVID-19 safety for older Latinos in assisted living homes in this 2023 paper. The pandemic hit this group hard, and medical steps alone did not close the gap. The authors gather what is known about the social side of prevention for these residents.
Barriers include language gaps, care that does not fit the culture, and money strain. Family values such as closeness, respect, and set gender roles shape how prevention advice lands. Outside factors add strain, from a lack of Spanish materials to stereotypes and racism. The authors map strategies that could ease these barriers and flag where knowledge is still thin. They argue prevention plans must be built around the culture of the people they serve.
