Caregivers Observation

With the advancements in healthcare and people living longer lives America is facing a caregiver crisis, due to the growth of the aging population. Statistics show that the number of people 65 years and older is expected to rise 101% between 2000 and 2030, yet the number of family members who can provide care for these older adults is only expected to rise 25% (Gupta, 2015). This significant change in the population raises many questions, who will care for this group, how will their safety be ensured, how will the elderly travel, where will they live, will building structures need to change to allow easier access, will the government create a caregiver corps to check on the elderly who are isolated, and ultimately how does the government

What can carers and care workers do to help make transitions in care a positive experience?

At Children’s Discovery Center the daycare is split into two buildings, one building is for the children in pre-school and the second building is for infants to three year olds getting ready to start pre- school. The classroom I observe is for children 18 months to 28 months. They are about fourteen children in the class with two teachers. The way the class is set up the younger students and their two teachers share one classroom, but the teachers and their toddlers are not in the same room until lunch time and nap time. The classroom has a kitchen, reading area, girls and boys bathroom, activity tables and there is a connecting room for the children to have bible time and free play. The discovery center has three separate playgrounds for the

The adult role in the scenario was okay but it could have been better. The only time the caregivers responded to the children when they were doing something they were not supposed to do. When you around children you should always be communicating with them this helps their language skills. The caregivers stayed in one spot on the carpet. When your involved around children there should be a lot of movement. You should not just move because they are about to hurt their self. Some families might believe that the scenario with the two toddlers with the ball is teaching them how to share. I like how the caregiver was able to get to the children before they hurt their self or anybody else. When the two children was playing with the one ball the caregiver

The place of observation took place at my work, before I clocked in for the day. I work at Oakwood Methodist Preschool/Daycare. I went in to the daycare at about 9:00, which is just free play/ breakfast time in the infant room. The infant room I observed in was a little different than the CDRC, because the infant room is from 7 weeks old to 18 months old. There was not really a place for me to be

I visited the childminders setting so I could see their play area and the home corners and how the childminders used the area to assess the children.

To draw attention to the need of child care, a group of New Yorkers set up a model day nursery in the children 's building at the 1893 World’s Columbian exhibition in Chicago and then went on to found the national

Many seniors live in areas where cold weather is a way of life, especially in winter. These are not the chilly breezes that come off the water in Florida, these are freezing temperatures that can cause severe hardships, loss of power and electricity, frozen pipes, and loss of services. In-home care personnel can help your senior loved ones prepare for the cold weather.

I like how you added information about the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Institute in the beginning. The guest speaker did an excellent job with her presentation, and your summary was very clear and concise. I think that it is great that the WIA is not only helping the person with dementia but helping their caregiver too. Many people do not know about caregivers fatigue or view it as a fault of their own. Conducting these screenings is an excellent way to educate people about caregivers fatigue, and provide support. Ensuring that the caregiver is healthy means that they can care for their loved one longer.

The intent of the study is to collaborate, observe and improve the interaction between nursing home staff and residents. From observations and subsequent collaborations, information will be provided which may be used at the facility. A discussion of elderspeak and gerotranscendence, helping staff better understand elderspeak and gerotranscendence, as well as collaborating with staff, may help to relieve oppressive communication and help staff better interact with residents. This collaboration should allow all staff members to gain knowledge of positive communication. The information may be used in this nursing home to help improve the quality of life for elderly residents. The results will be made available in written form to any interested

In conclusion, I decided to do this particular topic because of personal experience. I observed a daycare facility; the teacher had a child that was not able to digest food items like a typical child. The child was three years old. She was feeding in a feeding tube. The teacher in the class room was not able to work the machine so the child can eat. All the children in the center finished eating besides the child. The teacher had to go to classroom to classroom to receive

On Saturday, March 11, 2017, I had the privilege of revisiting the National Children’s Home. The purpose was to observe and interact with both staff and children and learn how to care for them. Upon arrival, the director was sitting in a chair observing a volunteer that was teaching the children to paint.

Reporting party (RP) stated that she has resided at this facility for 4 months. RP stated that there are 4 men and 2 women in this facility. RP stated that there is a new caregiver Codie who started 2 weeks ago. Codie was instructed by licensee, Aida, not to give the residents second helpings of food. RP stated that the quality of food is decent but it is not enough. The previous caregiver, Shirley (unknown) would spend $150 per week on groceries to ensure that the residents received enough food. Caregiver Codie is not allowed to do the grocery shopping and the owner only spends $115 per week (licensee takes resident shopping with her). RP stated that she is often hungry and that the facility use to provide 3 snacks per day: morning, mid day
