Systemic racism, stigma, health care provider bias, and the lack of culturally and linguistically appropriate care impede access to equitable care while admitted to the hospital. This scoping review aims to describe the existing literature on the hospitalization experiences of ethno-racial older adults (age \u2265 60\u2009years) with dementia and their caregivers and identify challenges in receiving care in hospitals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research Design and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A scoping review was conducted using JBI and Arksey and O\u2019Malley\u2019s 5-stage scoping review framework. Systematic searches were conducted across six databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Google Scholar. No restrictions based on publication year or geographical location.

Future studies are needed to explore how ethno-racial older adults living with dementia and their caregivers navigate the hospitalization journey and discharge process and to find ways to improve
