亚裔美国老人是这样一种公众印象的牺牲品：他们有家人的独立照顾，因此不需要外界帮助。然而来到这个国家的亚裔美国入的移民模式、文化障碍、语言障碍、语言问题和他们遭遇的歧视，都给这些老人及其家人带来伤害。
ASIAN-AMERICAN ELDERLY ARE VICTIMS OF A PUBLIC IMPRESSION THAT THEY ARE INDEPENDENTLY CARED FOR BY THEIR FAMILIES AND THEREFORE DO NOT NEED HELP. HOWEVER, PATTERNS OF IMMIGRATION BY ASIAN-AMERICANS TO THIS COUNTRY, THE CULTURAL BARRIERS, LANGUAGE BARRIERS, LANGUAGE PROBLEMS AND DISCRIMINATION THEY HAVE FACED HAVE ALL TAKEN A TOLL OF THEIR ELDERLY AND THEIR FAMILIES.
