Staff working in partnership with a service user’s family will become more aware of families' individual needs, and know more about an elderly person's home context, thus enabling them to be aware of how the care home is different or similar to their own home and understand the elderly person’s behaviour with this in mind.

An example, of this specific tailoring can be see through the use of forums. The men’s health forum was originally created to help spread health information to African-American Men, across the Tampa Bay, Florida area (Grant et al., 2011). By using the method of specifically targeting African-American men, these forums can extend a more intimate and cultural approach to these individuals. This has led to the expansion of men’s health to include many different races within their area of male health information and has also received additional funding and partnerships from many powerful entities (Grant et al., 2011). These organizations will not only allow for additionally help reaching different audiences, but will allow this them to gain national attention, further increasing the awareness of such

Those who able to find work are often under the oppression of landowners, being given very little pay along with discrimination and those who tried to protect themselves/ organize they were at risk of losing their job, run out by gun point or policed away. Federal camps are designed as a way of reviving social sensibility, finding decent work and better living conditions for the family but even this creates the argument of the cost for local police and education, the squatter camps under sheriff’s offices, lowering of land value and risk of

Many studies have shown a positive link between work and well-being. Research concludes unemployed individuals show lower levels of well-being, reduction in happiness, lower income, and often destroyed self-respect and social relationships (Layard, 2004.) The older person’s importance of having employment is correlated with many aspects of their health and social relationships. It was estimated that in 2011, one out of six Canadians was an older worker, which was much higher from a decade earlier (Government of Canada, 2012). Currently, access to jobs is often limited do to mentioned ageist stereotypes.

Aging is described as a sequential, irreversible, progressive, and non-pathological process of maturation in an organism and that translates to a gradual decline in the ability to perform activities optimally. Aging is an individual process that can be a period of stress for individuals especially following their retirement (Hiller & Barrow, 2015). The current study sought to understand the process and experience of aging from the perspective of elderly individuals. In discussing matters of aging and retirement, many assume that women are always eager to retire, and adjust well, as compared to their male counterparts (Bauger & Bongaardt, 2016). Many people assume that since women are generally made as homemakers, they are willing and happy to retire while men, whose nature is to be the main source of family income, find it hard to be out of work (Moody & Sasser, 2014). Indeed, there exists very little literature that sheds some light on this area, particularly on the attitudes of each gender towards retirement and process of aging. Given the significance of retirement to this life stage, the study sought to understand the emotions and views of individuals regarding their retirement through the lenses of (1) Physical health and wellbeing, (2) Friends, Family, and Community, (3) Work and leisure, (4) Finances and lifestyles, and (5) Living
