The challenge America now faces is the number of people reaching retirement will double in number by 2030, and the U.S. population will increase almost 20 percent ("Our Aging Nation," 2015). The goal is for the elderly to maintain and live with independence and dignity, as well as, provide a wide range of professional health and social service expertise, home care, and residential support and services that will be needed ("Our Aging Nation," 2015). Since the number of caregivers needed for this population will not be able to meet the demands other resolutions are considered necessary.

The care staff face many challenges even though they know just about everything about the individual; the carers still deal with many situations. It’s of importance that families and other health professionals develop a professional working relationship with carers because the carers are the one who are more involve with the individuals and supporting them as well as knowing the individual everyday activities.

The family role of elders and sickness go hand in hand. Elders are held in a high regard being a well-respected member of their community. Due to this their families are very active in caring for their wellbeing. The majority of elders want to live on their own but when they cannot physically care for themselves, although they may move into their family’s home if care can’t be performed adequately. When this happens the elders will live in nursing homes but if family is still present, they are very active in their care. Overall when it comes to the care of any individual in the family the other members are active in giving emotional and spiritual support.

Which is why after reading this, I think what matters most when I envision eldercare is not only having a variety of engaging activities but also having family members visit them often and to even take them out for lunch or home for the

(Baillie 2012) explored adult nursing experiences of caring for older people with dementia in acute hospital setting, the findings of this study, suggested getting to know the person and building a relationship, using comfort as a main source of building a trust between the patient and yourself. This study highlighted the need to be approachable, and within the confines of hospital routines.

About 1 in 6 employed adults provided care for someone age 65 or older within the past 3 to 4 months, but this figure may dramatically underestimate the potential impact of eldercare on your business. Nearly half of U.S. workers expect to have elder care responsibilities over the next 5 years, even if they don’t now, and most have the potential to become unpaid eldercare providers at some point in the future. It’s a big workforce management issue that will

Throughout my seventeen years of life I have always lived on a farrow to finish hog farm, which is called Billings Hogs Inc.. Billings Hogs Inc., operated by my grandfather and father, consist of 50 to 70 sows and gilts year-round plus farming 4,000 acres of corn, wheat, and milo. Therefore, I have always been closely related to the swine industry. However, even though I have been directly involved in the swine industry, I didn’t truly find my passion for the swine industry until I began showing and raising my own hogs. My herd began to develop when I brought my champion Yorkshire breeding gilt home from the Scott County Fair in 2014. Upon the gilt returning home, I bred her in September of 2014 so that she would give birth to piglets in January.

In the world of the senior community, caregivers must have the required skill set to provide residents with the medical treatment they need; however, the attitude of the caregiver must not be overlooked. As senior communities continue struggling due to the high employee turnover associated with this field of care, employers have started taking a unique approach to choosing new caregivers and keeping their current caregivers engaged, and happy.

Employment programs for seniors will be my area of focus to foster significant roles and add to the quality of life for older adults. Indeed, older adults possess many skills and abilities qualifying them as being valuable to business and agencies, however, finding a job is still made difficult. Contributing factors are those desiring to work are ill prepared due to technological advancement or lack of training. Agencies and businesses are now demanding necessary training making it vitally important to make oneself marketable as the job market is competitive.

Who takes care of the elderly and how do we take care of our elderly. Amongst the different age groups I have closely worked with, the elderly is the age group I have assisted the most. My aunt has a homecare agency, that I have collaborated with since 2009.This age group has influenced me in various ways. Do to this work experience, I find a connection and understanding with the elderly community.
