Women are marginalized even more than men. This is a First Nations directed project aimed at rebuilding the community in the wake of the residential school experience. People in these groups face many challenges as they attempt to cope with this disease. Potential links with government funded home care were also examined. Analysis of findings from focus groups and personal interviews and a survey of client satisfaction are available in the final report.
Integration is a complex and multifaceted process.
The paucity of information on how advanced age relates to the processes and consequences of immigrant integration calls for age-sensitive research. The project has been designed to be holistic in the sense that it is meant to consider senior immigrants as total persons with social, economic, physical, emotional and spiritual needs. In addition, issues of age of entry, conditions of entry, immigration admission policies and issues of eligibility for government transfer payments and gender are raised in the study. The study will provide practical recommendations for policy development and program services. An exploratory study funded by the Prairie Centre of Excellence for Research on Immigration and Integration was designed by Douglas Durst and Allison Lange to look at the social integration of Salvadoran refugees within the Regina community.
