Older adults in rural areas have a unique set of issues when accessing health care, transportation, and social services. These adults typically also have less income than their urban peers, further impacting quality of life and aging. Service providers in rural America also face unique challenges when compared to their urban counterparts, we will discuss the perspectives of both. We will conclude by sharing recommendations for practicing with greater cultural fluency and overcoming barriers in geriatric service delivery in rural settings.","PeriodicalId":91156,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives on gerontology","volume":"18 1","pages":"60-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57646607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
