This naturalistic study explores the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual adaptation of Asian Indian elderly immigrants to American culture. The individuals interviewed suggested that while they physically adapted to American life, many of them encountered social, emotional, and spiritual obstacles that often impeded successful adaptation. Factors such as family proximity, reasons for immigration, and conflicting values helped predict the adaptation success of Asian Indian elderly immigrants. The study points to possible intervention strategies that social workers can use to promote more successful adaptation of Asian Indian elderly immigrants to American culture
