Nursing homes are increasingly becoming more racially/ethnically diverse, making the need for culturally sensitive care (CSC) and increasing the diversity of nursing home staff even greater. Yet, there is little understanding onto what CSC consists of. This study examines a case study involving Hmong nursing home staff members at a high proportion minority nursing home to unpack what is CSC, the outcomes of CSC, and the emotional labor involved in CSC. The findings of this case study illuminate that additional research is needed and more institutional support is needed for these staff members.
