abstract: In the Netherlands the share of older migrants in the population is increasing. This study examines the sense of home of older Hindustani Surinamese migrants living in the Netherlands in relation to migration, ageing, place making and cultural schemas. A secondary data analysis was performed which consists of nineteen in-depth interviews, one interview with the key informant and photographs. The in-depth interviews are conducted at four co-housing communities for older Hindustani Surinamese adults in the Netherlands. The findings indicate that a sense of home is related to having a place for oneself and living with people from the same origin. A sense of home is not restricted to one place and emerges from multiple places. Adapting past routines to the new environment, expressing religion and culture and placing meaningful objects within the home are found to be important aspects in the home-making process.
