This chapter presents relevant theories, demographic data and introduces guidelines for culturally relevant practice with rural Latino elders. Demographic characteristics of rural Latinos focus on age distribution, economic conditions, living arrangements, and language and service utilization issues. Cultural competence is discussed as a viable approach to cross-cultural practice based on a knowledge base, culturally relevant skills and a value orientation that embraces diversity.
