Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people who move into care homes find themselves in an environment where health professionals do not speak their language and the access to cultural activities is limited. This may increase loneliness and social isolation. When designing care home environments for CALD residents with dementia, culture is a key consideration. The aim of this integrative review is to highlight\n                      <jats:italic>what<\/jats:italic>\n                      elements of the care home environment are reported to meet culture-specific needs of CALD residents with dementia, and\n                      <jats:italic>how<\/jats:italic>\n                      .\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A search strategy which included terms for care homes, forms of dementia and CALD people was developed, and a systematic search was carried out in six databases. Eligible articles were original peer-reviewed studies published between 2013 and 2024 and contained examples of how care home environments have been used to meet culture-specific needs of CALD residents. All screenings and extractions were carried out by two independent researchers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The search resulted in 4311 records.

The findings highlight the importance of bilingual staff, culturally relevant activities and inclusive environments in enhancing communication, building interpersonal relationships and reducing frustration among CALD residents. Collaborations between culturally competent staff, family members and members of cultural communities also facilitate meeting social and cultural needs of these residents. This review offers suggestions on how environments in care homes can be adapted for CALD residents and encourages further research to find practical solutions for equitable care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A study protocol is registered on Prospero (CRD42023492906).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12939-025-02748-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,16]],"date-time":"2026-01-16T09:37:56Z","timestamp":1768556276000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The use of care home environments to meet culture-specific needs of culturally and linguistically diverse residents with dementia: an integrative review using the ICF framework"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-2917-3132","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nina","family":"Ramezani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2298-6806","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Granberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2873-4247","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annica","family":"Kihlgren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1593-4220","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarina","family":"Baudin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5567-9431","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helen","family":"Lindner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2748_CR1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
