http://www.pbs.org/lifepart2 How does your race and ethnicity affect the type of care you receive? Many baby boomers face the question of how to care for their aging parents, this is especially hard when cultures of origin clash with the American healthcare system. See how and why one Korean-born Philadelphia woman cares for her 92-year-old mother at home. From the LIFE (PART 2) episode "Ethnicity, Race and Aging." The new season of LIFE (PART 2) is on PBS, see entire episodes online at www.pbs.org/lifepart2

It don't matter how busy U R, do what's right. I wish my grandmother was here, she is so depressed in the home and she is too far away for us to visit as much as we'd like.

  • Don't we all are on either side of the spectrum on this one? ...: (
