Abstract Residential care and assisted living services provide support to seniors who may not have the ability to live independently. However, East Asian residents often do not have sufficient access to culturally specific activities, which may result in psychosocial stress and isolation. This study presents a geographic analysis method to evaluate spatial distribution of culturally tailored senior care facilities in Metro Vancouver. We identify geographical disparities, indicating that many East Asian seniors have poor local access to a culturally tailored facility. We recommend the use of geographical analysis techniques to improve the analysis and planning for senior care in an increasingly diverse population.

加拿大温哥华住宅和辅助生活设施中东亚护理差距的 GIS 分析

摘要 住院护理和辅助生活服务为可能无法独立生活的老年人提供支持。然而，东亚居民往往没有足够的机会参与特定文化的活动，这可能会导致心理压力和孤立。本研究提出了一种地理分析方法来评估大温哥华地区文化定制的高级护理设施的空间分布。我们确定了地域差异，这表明许多东亚老年人无法在当地获得适合文化的设施。我们建议使用地理分析技术来改进对日益多样化人口的老年护理的分析和规划。
