The extra care housing concept of supported independence within a caring community is one that may offer much to minority communities, particularly those with changing patterns of family care. The context for this study is a UK population which is ageing, with a relatively small but growing number of older people within religious and ethnic minority groups who have needs specific to their cultural identity in addition to those in common with the majority. In considering its need for new forms of later life accommodation, the British Jewish community is looking for models that are acceptable both in terms of specifically Jewish cultural requirements and with respect to 'mainstream' middle class expectations of amenity, service, and social inclusion. This article presents findings of sixteen focus groups with middle-aged and older members of Jewish communities in London and the south east of England, and reflects on their attitudes to specificity in cultural provision in extra care.
在充满关怀的社区中提供支持性独立生活的额外护理住房概念，可能会为少数族裔社区带来诸多益处，尤其是那些家庭护理模式不断变化的社区。本研究的背景是英国人口老龄化，宗教和少数族裔群体中老年人数量相对较少但在不断增加，他们除了有与多数群体共有的需求外，还有因其文化身份而产生的特定需求。在考虑对新型晚年居住形式的需求时，英国犹太社区正在寻找既符合犹太文化特定要求，又能满足“主流”中产阶级对便利设施、服务和社会包容期望的模式。本文呈现了对伦敦和英格兰东南部犹太社区中年及老年成员的16个焦点小组的研究结果，并反思了他们对额外护理中文化服务特殊性的态度。
