Increasingly, grandparents provide primary care for their grandchildren, but minimal research exists focusing on Asian and Pacific American grandparent caregivers. Using the conceptual framework of familism, this case study explores the context of a Korean American, interracial, two-grandparent household (age 72 and 73) raising their 12-year-old grandson. The interview of this family was analyzed using coding, memoing, and comparative analysis techniques often used in case study analysis. Three themes related to familism emerged: staying connected, maintaining cultures, and clashing cultures. Inclusion of these concepts may be appropriate for service providers in assessing grandparent-headed families and identifying cultural strengths and appropriate interventions
