Summary:Based on an in-depth case study, the authors of this paper highlight the difficulties faced by caregivers in the psychogeriatric care for elderly migrants. They show how both the history of emigration and the migratory experience can make this management complex. They articulate their reflection on the difficulties of diagnosis and therapeutic relationship, on the linguistic barrier around the question of old age in migration context. For the effective management of the elderly migrant, the authors suggest a strengthening of intercultural skills for caregivers.
