Abstract

This paper discusses inequality among the elderly in health care services and programs. The minority elderly should have equal access to quality health care and services. The literature identifies several factors relative to health care and service utilization for the elderly. Tables and graphs are provided to show the disparities that exist between minority groups and non-minority groups. Findings of a survey are provided to illustrate the need for better access to health care services and program information for all the elderly.
