简单介绍
When the idea of a nursing home to care for non-English speaking Chinese elderly first surfaced in 1985, there were concerns about whether the community would embrace the concept much less support it. Within Asian cultures, it’s a strong tradition for families to care for their own. Yet, surveys taken at that time by The Chinese Nursing Home Society (CNHS), the community’s newly organized non-profit corporation, revealed an estimated 20-30 Chinese residents living in the Seattle area were already placed in nursing homes.
