WEEK-6- Group Case Study: An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and
Mrs. Arahan.
Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their 70s, have been living
with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two
children, aged 12 and 14 years. They all live in a middle-income
neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan
are both colleges educated and worked full-time while they were in
their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only o spring of
wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real
estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered
nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The
older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became
a US citizen and petitioned for them as immigrants. Because the
couple were facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to
come to the United States.
The Arahans found life in the United States di erent from that in
their home country, but their adjustment was not as di cult because
both were healthy and spoke English uently. Most of their time was
spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the
grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more
spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers
and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family
dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband,
and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began
to feel isolated and longed for a more active life.

Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return
to their home country, where they still had relatives and friends.
However, political, and economic issues would have made it di cult
for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the
way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and
abundance of goods that were di cult to obtain in their country.
However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to
tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might
worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if
they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their
daughter had saved money only for their grandchildren’s college
education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who
became very concerned about how her parents were feeling.
This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis but
had never been active in other church-related activities. The church
bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two
retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the rst
opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered
nurses, who had a short discussion with them about the services
o ered. The registered nurse had spent a great deal of her working
years as a community health nurse. She informed Mr. and Mrs.
Arahan of her availability to help them resolve any health-related
issues.
Re ective Questions:
1. What strategies could be suggested for this older adult couple to
enhance their quality of life?
2. What community resources can they use?
3. What can the daughter and her family do to address the feelings of
isolation of the older couple?
4. What health-promotion activities can ensure a healthy lifestyle for
them?
Instructions:
1. Your Team response must be at least a half page in length, or 2-3
full paragraphs.
2. Your response should demonstrate an in-depth written analysiscritique and evidence-based rationales of the assigned case.
