Abstract
Helping networks of older people in 10 different ethnic groups were examined for the extent to which they include family members. It was found that immigrants are more likely than native-born older people to have family members to turn to in times of need. Data were drawn from a survey of 1139 older people in San Diego County. Although older people are not generally abandoned, policy-makers and senior providers need to be aware that major group differences exist in the helping networks of older people.
