Old age is one of the periods of individual life such as infancy, childhood, adolescence, youth and adulthood. During this period, individuals experience many biological, psychological, social and economic problems. The problems generally arise due to reasons such as the slowing down of the regeneration rate of the body due to the advancement of age, job losses, retirement, and loss of relationships. Immigration is the movement of individuals inside or outside the country of residence for a number of reasons. The phenomenon of immigration brings along many problems such as adaptation to individuals, housing, nutrition, health, and economic problems. The transition to immigrant status for elderly individuals who are trying to cope with the problems of their old age by being included in the immigration process can make the problems intractable. These problems they experience make elderly people very vulnerable. Both old age problems and immigration process problems can cause serious traumas on the elderly. At this point, planned social work interventions for older immigrants become very important.
The purpose of this review is to explain the problems faced by elderly immigrants who have to go through the immigration process, and to provide information and suggestions about social work interventions for elderly immigrants.
