Description
As Germany's population diversifies, dementia care must serve families whose expectations were formed elsewhere. Yüzgülen, Salloch, and Alpinar-Segawa interview family caregivers of Turkish and German background, plus care professionals, about what good dementia care means.
Turkish-background caregivers often knew little about dementia, felt its stigma, and preferred care at home, shaped by family duty and money limits. Language barriers, fear of judgment, and few culturally fitting services kept them from formal help. German-background caregivers were generally better informed and readier to use services, and education level mattered on both sides. Professionals echoed the findings and asked for diagnostic tools suited to foreign-born patients. The authors urge culturally sensitive care built on each person's life story.
