Abstract
This article aims to identify best practice guidance in relation to caring for minority ethnic older people in UK care homes that provide nursing care, highlighting key issues and identifying gaps that require redress. Current best practice guidance focuses on client issues, such as the recognition of cultural preferences, and organizational issues, such as workforce and the environment. However, while there is some best practice guidance regarding the care of minority ethnic older people in care homes, it is not sufficiently explicit. The article concludes by suggesting key strategies to help address the needs of minority ethnic older people in care homes.
