My educational background has prepared me for the role of Age career based in New Norfolk. I currently hold a Certificate III in Age care and Disability, which has taught me how to be responsible with clients and properly use the equipment necessary to meet their needs. Volunteering at Corumbene has also revealed to me my ability to prepare for what they can and can’t do. Through my experiences, I learned the significance of encouraging and impelling clientele by coming up with reasonable requests that don’t ask anything more than what they are able to physically and mentally accomplish. Furthermore, I have been trained to use lifting equipment which includes all essential safety procedures and first aid. The knowledge in which I acquired through

The HLSP field of practice is discussed in this section of the report. Primarily, the program focuses on the aging field of practice. The programs secondary field of practice is health and disability. Subsequently, Chenoweth and McAuliffe (2012) suggest that “all kinds of practice approaches are adopted in the aged care field” (p. 142), such as working with individuals, families, groups, communities, social policy, research, managerial and educational. The program incorporates all these domains of practice in its service delivery within the UnitingCare organisation. For example, UnitingCare Australia is the national body for the UnitingCare Network and UnitingCare Aging is a service group of the Uniting Church’s synod, (UnitingCare NSW.ACT)

There are no known intergenerational programs in Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) that, using a contact model, aim to enhance students’ awareness of the aging process and expand their knowledge about career opportunities in the field of geriatric care. Indeed, there are no known intergenerational programs formalized into the county’s public school academic curriculum at all. This report purposes to:

To become an administrator or work in a long term care facility you need to have a bachelor degree or master depending on the state where you live. In the state of Texas, you only need a bachelor degree in any subject. With your degree in bachelor you will need to attend an accredited college that give classes to take the national administrator license exam. Kaplan is a regional accredited university where your degree and classes will count. With this type of the education as well the university that is helping pursue your degree will help you achieve that goal. With the degree that I am pursuing in healthcare administration that only a portion of where I am trying to achieve that long term care administrator. I will need to continue my study and go on to the part of getting my license administration.

I was given my first placement in a residential care home for the elderly located next to a busy main road in a small town. Established for over 25 years, the home is owned and run by qualified nurses who specialise in looking after confused, elderly residents. It can accommodate 32 service users for residential care and also provide respite care, day care and dementia care. There are currently 18 full or part time care staff plus domiciliary workers operating on a 12 hour shift system.

The necessity for long-term care is increasing which will require additional training and education for health care personnel, family members, and patients. Family members can have peace of mind knowing their family member will gain confidence in learning how to become accustomed to his or her new life while maintaining a quality continuum of care during and after treatment for physical, mental, or age associated illnesses.

The volunteer services and senior employment training program is for elders fifty-five or older. These elders are people who like challenges in their life. They show society volunteering is a great thing to do and show yourself in the community. The senior employment training program provides training and useful part-time work experience. Classroom, workshop training and on-the job work experience provides new skills and enhance old ones, which enables elders to find unsubsidized permanent employment.

I have worked in various social care settings for over 5 years from which I gained a broad knowledge in providing professional support to service users to enable and promote independent living and fulfilment. I am a conscientious worker and a credible team player with high degree of flexibility towards performance of my work. In the course of seeking both personal and professional development I have pursued and achieved several trainings and qualifications which include NVQ level 2 & 3 in Health and Social Care and level 3 in Health and Safety to facilitate my aspired role as a senior community support worker.

Look of workforce in Australia is changing. It is no longer the same as it was 20 years ago. Where young men were the main workers and old people and women were sitting at work with their kids (Nankervis et al. 2006, p.54). Nowadays number of old people has increased dramatically, which is affecting workforce and brings new challenges to human resource. New implications that human resources have to deal with are appropriate age allocation, keeping old employees working for as long as possible and avoiding clashing of different generations. Also combine experience from old employees with knowledge of new technologies from younger ones. All these can be done by correct human resources strategies, which will benefit organizations and

This paper focuses on aging in Australia, the different policies and services for the aging population, and provides some examples about what it would be like to age in Australia. First, it is important to understand the age care policy in Australia. There are four different components to this policy: the old-aged pension system, pursuit of the aging-in-place policy, self-funded services and supports, and residential and frail aged care. The aged care policy in Australia is “built on the premise of independence and individualization and assumes that older people will remain in the community for as long as they are able to” (Gray & Heinsch, 2009, p. 108). In order to

Working in New Day is a beneficial experience for me. Meanwhile, working with adult and geriatric patients has advantages. I can purport that by administrating variety of approaches and techniques depends on the client issue and age.

In conclusion, ageism in today’s times is a real form of discrimination and needs to be fixed. An individual’s skills and capabilities should be based on a personal level, not their age. The elderly and the young need just as much job opportunities as the middle-aged individuals living in the

Elderly people are often stereotyped as forgetful, weak, or unable to take care of themselves; keeping this in mind, how can you logically hire an elderly person to do a job that a young, more physically fit employee could undoubtedly perform with less risk and effort. Stereotypes such as these are playing a huge role in the controversy over mandatory retirement. Morgan
