“…Focusing on accessibility for minority older adults is important (Ellen et al, 2017; Sadarangani & Murali, 2018) because minority older adults tend to be more often socially, culturally, and linguistically isolated (Adepoju et al, 2021; Mock et al, 2021; Tong et al, 2020), which in part may contribute to their lower likelihood accessing such services in the first place. Additionally, focusing solely on individual factors such as language barriers or social isolation can miss other important organizational factors, such as service availability and cultural competency, that may determine the utilization of ADS services among minority older adults.…”

Adult day services (ADS) are one of the more popular long-term care options for racial and ethnic minority older Americans. Focusing on minority older adults, this study aims to (a) identify both the individual and structural/organizational levels factors associated with ADS use and to (b) examine ADS’ effect on health and well-being. Using the integrative review approach of Whittemore and Knafl, we found 14 studies published between 2010 to 2021. Findings concluded that individual-level needs and enabling factors were associated with ADS use and outcomes among minority older adults centered mostly on quality of life. Organizational/structural characteristics of ADS were never empirically examined in relation to service use or health outcomes. Future research should move beyond the individual level to identify and address the impact of the institutional structure, culture and practice on access, quality, and use.
