Senior Reach: A Case Study

Experience working in the field of health care lends insight to the growing needs of the older adult population, and the barriers which impede our capacity to meet them. As the Baby Boomer age is approaching older adulthood, the rise for financial,

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:

Being an older adult in need of services is challenging and, seemingly, discouraging due to the lack of services available. Amplify the typical challenges of older adults

The new eldercare service model must be one of inclusion. We can no longer afford to marginalize any group of seniors. –Author

We find that there are currently staffing shortages and the lack of long-term care facilities to compete with the growing number of senior citizen in our country (Williams, Nowak & Scoby, 2016). With these issues we find that each professional who assist within the field of geriatric care such as advocates and leadership, share a particular part in making a safe environment with adequate accommodations for seniors. There are differences in the leadership and advocacy perspective in senior care, but they both result in the common goal of a meaningful life for seniors daily.

The mission of Guardian Elder Care and Lakeview Senior Care and Living Center is to deliver superior healthcare in the communities where they serve. They provide compassionate care, long-term care, and in-home care to all of their patients and residents, which also brings comfort to their loved ones. Their therapists, nurses, and staff constantly strive to exceed the expectations, both of their patients and their families. Their commitment to passionate care, servant leadership, and continuous improvement results in outcomes that maximize the well-being of those to whom they provide

Aging is a natural part of life. However, many people struggle to stay active in their golden years. The attentive staff at National Church Residences is committed to the health and overall well-being of their clients and residents. Their senior living community in Chillicothe, OH, has provided safe, affordable, and comfortable housing to seniors for more than 50 years. As innovative leaders in home and health care for the elderly, they work hard to fulfill the social and human needs of older adults.

How Having an Understanding of Lifespan Development Can Help those Delivering Care to Different Client Groups

The obstacles in creating a CCR for the seniors can be the elder’s reduced mobility, which might prevent them from seeking help in the first place and reduce their access to resources that can assist in

The purpose of this report is to critically analyse key areas of practice with regard to the Healthy Living for Seniors Program (HLSP) from the perspective of a volunteer. Uniting Care Aging is a non-profit and non-government organisation; and a ministry of the Uniting Church that provides, government, church and client funded aged care services across Australia especially for Australians who are older and vulnerable. The program workers facilitate the group five days a week between 10am-3pm. The programs’ field of practice is ‘Aging’ and its major function is to link the individual, group, family or community with needed resources. Welfare practitioner’s in this program empower people and promote social justice, safety, well-being, and enhance

My goals are focused on direct interactions with the senior population. Specifically, I envision myself working with nursing homes, non-profit organizations, and the government. Accumulating experiences in these areas cultivates an exceptional professional mindset that can improve our existing and future healthcare policies cater to the elderly. Since the Aging and Health program fosters an environment focused on program evaluation and improving care quality, I believe this program is in direct alignment with my career path.

As adults enter the stage of later adulthood, many changes will begin to develop for each person. The aging process includes transitioning from work life to retirement, changes to roles, social positions, social policies, determining living accommodations with healthcare needs, and relationships with families and peers. The stage known as the golden years comes with great challenges while adjusting to the many changes in a person’s life. (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2010). Transition from work to retirement

When a patient and their family come to the outpatient Geriatric Assessment Center, the patient will receive a comprehensive evaluation by a team of healthcare providers. This comprehensive assessment is designed to collect information on medical, psychosocial, functional capabilities and limitations or risks of older adults. Berkman et al. (2003) believes that having a trusting relationship with the client system can result in the clinical value of knowledge needed to develop an effective individualized service plan. This multidisciplinary team includes a fellowship- trained, board- certified geriatrician, a geriatric social worker, and a certified geriatric nurse practitioner.

However, with the data reviewed and in trying to figure out tasks to develop for the older adults, I will focus my concentration in discussing with the older adult to find out their needs and challenges. I have observed that most times some of the different ageing organizations, be it non-governmental or government agencies do not actual pay attention to the urgent needs of the AIP, due to lack of resources or they are overwhelmed by the number of people in need of attention for services.

Senior management have also only grown within various levels of management, meaning there is a lack of industry experience at senior management level. This lack of experience could be why YNG has then made the decision to have their strategic focus only on marketing and categorising IT infrastructure as being unimportant and a low priority. Hence why they didn’t seem to care all too much as YNG obtained companies and simply incorporated their IT functions into the YNG data centre based. They did this purely based on better functionality, not taking into consideration issues such as weaknesses, compatibility and security.
