Health research on official language minority communities (OLMCs) has experienced remarkable growth over the past two decades. This article’s objective is to present an overview of the research conducted on the health and care issues facing francophone older adults in minority language communities. Different themes are addressed such as health and its determinants, service users’ experience with respect to language, the legal and political environment of French language services, the organization of services and the performance of the healthcare system. This evaluative synthesis of the research is intended to provide both a tool for mobilizing knowledge and courses of action to better meet the needs of older populations and improve service delivery.
