The InterpreCare System: overcoming language barriers in long-term care

CJ Camp, CJ Burant and GC Graham
Myers Research Institute, Menorah Park Center for the Aging, Beachwood, OH 44122, USA. [email protected]

Differences in the language spoken by residents and staff in long-term care create a variety of problems. The InterpreCare System represents an intervention for dealing with this issue. We describe the nature and purpose of this intervention, and provide detailed instructions on the construction of Language Boards. Examples are given from our experience at Menorah Park Center for the Aging in enabling English-speaking staff to use Russian phrases while delivering care. Beneficial effects produced by the intervention are discussed.
