<![CDATA[This qualitative case study examines the implementation of multiculturalism and social dynamics among the elderly at the Netizen Cinta Singkawang Nursing Home Foundation in Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the founder of the nursing home and an analysis of transcript documents. The analysis was guided by Parsudi Suparlan's Theory of Multiculturalism and Herbert Blumer's Theory of Symbolic Interactionism. The findings reveal that multiculturalism is practiced through inclusive policies that prioritize the value of humanity, the accommodation of halal dietary needs for all residents, and the celebration of major religious holidays. Social dynamics are characterized by harmonious daily interactions, the formation of a collective identity as a "nursing home family," and the freedom granted to the elderly, which enhances their sense of happiness and social integration. The study concludes that a humanistic and non-sectarian multicultural approach significantly improves the emotional well-being and social integration of the elderly in a culturally diverse nursing home environment.]]>
