Many Indigenous elders prefer that the care they receive focus on community, spirituality, and traditional healing practices. These modalities of care often differ from mainstream Western healthcare approaches and are furthermore, not reimbursable expenses in nursing home and other health care environments. Additionally, it is unlikely that staff have been trained to manage, promote or administer this kind of culturally responsive care. Barriers such as lack of culturally trained staff, geographic isolation, and systemic healthcare disparities make it challenging to implement culturally responsive care in rural settings. This study explores how rural communities engage with Native elders to develop care models that honor specific tribal cultural practices while addressing medical needs.
