I think if you look at many of the culturally specific agencies--and I think there's a culturally specific agency for just about every immigrant group--if they were funded or mandated to provide seniors services, they'd already have the networks to find the people, and presumably they'd have the correct cultural sensitivity to address the problems.
It's phenomenal. We have newcomer support, and our first newcomer support person was Iranian. Well, heavens above, did we ever have a lot of Iranian newcomers attached to the agency. Then when she went on maternity leave and we had a Guyanese person replace her, wow—now it's Guyanese. And there's no way around that. You will have good access to a community only if you can speak the language—and not just be able to “speak” the language, but to speak the “language”.
