Recent research indicates a risk of isolation and psychological distress and underutilization of mental health services among older immigrants (Hernandez & Bigatti, 2010;Mui & Kang, 2006). The present study examined the perspectives of Asian Indian older adults and aimed to bridge gaps in understanding aging in the immigrant context. Semistructured interviews with 18 Asian Indian older adults (8 men and 10 women) were analyzed using content analysis. Four broad categories emerged from the data including: (a) challenges of living in the United States, (b) giving and receiving care in the family, (c) reflecting on present and future circumstances, and (d) approaches to coping. Various themes within these 4 broad categories extend existing knowledge concerning the vulnerabilities and resilience in the experiences of older Asian Indians. The ways in which research, practice, and policy can advocate for the mental health needs of Asian Indian older adults are discussed.
