Seniors: A Short Story

First off, I want to say thank you to my parents for supporting me. Mom, Dad, thank you for being there with me during difficult times. You support and understand me, this gives me the strength to continue fight through the challenges in life. Without you being here today and by my side, I would have given up. Next, I want to thank the administration. You have all contributed to making this school run smoothly but also have allowed us to have a good time. I, as many others, have enjoyed the monthly walks and fundraising activities, the cultural fashion show and the fun and exciting cultural festival with the live steel bad and African drummers. These are some experiences that some students have never been exposed to. Therefore, thank you for bringing new and exciting initiatives to PS/MS124. Mrs. Babb, you are a very loving and an easy person to talk to. You have made so many positive changes to PS124, one of which is allowing us middle schoolers to have student council. I would also like to thank my teachers, for sharing their knowledge. You have taken the time to explain assignments, make class interesting, challenge us beyond our knowledge, and inspire not just me, but all of us. I want to Mr. Heaton for granting me the position of secretary for National Junior Honor Society last year. This was a great opportunity and that allowed me to play a key role in the National Junior Honor

Nothing makes me happier then acting like an actually mother to you all even though way more then half of you in this room are older then me. Baking for you all, giving out advice, and my favorite cleaning up after your parties (mostly when I am still hammered and at the party) brings nothing more to my face then a smile. Seeing you all truly happy is what makes me happy. In life, there are few moments better than those that are filled with absolute, unequivocal happiness and with no doubt I feel like being your fraternities sweetheart will be a moment I will always cherish. I would like to say one last thank you, thank you to the vertex, 519, Hammond, terrace, mill manor, titty city, campus, la Jolla, the dean and to every location I have made the best memories at. I am signing out by saying on last thing, thank you to the DKE’s who have encouraged me to black out, to the DKE’s who have blacked out with me, and to all of the DKEs who have helped me in a black out. Thank you boys for being my sweethearts just like I hope to be

As people continue to live life and grow older, it is inevitable that they will age. Aging has many effects on an individual’s physical health, emotional well-being, and cognition. Key developmental changes occur in vision and hearing; both begin declining as people age (Weiten, 2014). The deterioration of these senses can be seen in Young@Heart during the scene where a few members are joking around in a car. The driver was Lenny, an ex-World War II pilot, because he was the only one out of the group who could still see properly (Walker, 2008). The vision of every other member in the car had worsened to a point where it impacted their functioning in daily life by limiting their ways of transportation.

I would like to thank MCS for all the great years here. I will forever be a Blue Devil. I'm going to miss the boys that I've had a lot of great times with. My number one boy, Ian, we've had good times Cheddar Cheese, I wonder who's going to make you break your next TV from the game MLB. You're my best friend, man. And to the other boy, Jose, we had some good times too - or just stupid ones. To all the other boys: Tyler, Devin, Donovan, Derek, Jackson, Kenny, Paris, Kevin, Billy, Tanner and Joe: it's been real. Kevin, I will also never forget soccer practice where I knocked you down and your shoulder broke my nose. Billy, please don't break our 3 point record. Derek, you better watch yourself even when I'm out of school - you know what I mean. Jackson, work on your touch, because its garbage. Kenny, keep playing sports. By the way Im going to miss graphic design with Patty and Travis. This year I met one of my new best friends who is a really special girl. Her name is Victoria Marin. These are just some of the people I am going to miss. I know that I will see them again. I will miss my teachers. I will never forget beating Mr. O in pickleball twice - the second player to ever do that. Mr. O, work on your golf and pickleball game. I will miss Joey Dabritz and don't know what I will miss more him giving me a hard time or for always believing in me. I leave locker

In Chapter 15: Aging and the Elderly, the U.S. birth rate has been falling for more than a century. It happens because children are more likely to survive into adulthood, and so couple have fewer children. As more women work outside the home, they choose to have fewer children. Greater material wealth and advances in medicine have raised living standards so that people benefit from better housing and more nutrition. The oldest segment of the U.S. population, is increasing rapidly and is already forty times greater than in 1900.

In this reflective essay, I shall be representing a critical understanding of the Risks in view of, an older adult, as an alternative area of practice, to that of my own nursing Adult field. The scenario takes place, within a clinical acute setting, with following the use of Driscolls Reflective Model (1994), Driscoll uses a framework to reflect on the scenario, What? Happened, So, What? How you were feeling at the time, and Now, What? Actions to be taken. However, to maintain confidentiality, which is set by the (NMC) Nursing and midwifery council (2008) all names of places and patients names have been changed and I shall be using the pseudonym Mrs M, for an 85-year older patient.

One of the most important factors to keeping seniors healthy is exercise. A community exercise program would encourage exercise in this population. Initiating a senior community exercise program within a community would require a large amount interprofessional communication and collaboration. In addition, to have a successful community senior exercise program it would the involvement of several different disciplines. Important disciplines to have involved in this community exercise program would be a medical provider, nurses, therapist, and dietitian. Each of these disciplines has a different specialty that brings different knowledge to the table, which will help create a comprehensive exercise program. Similarly, the collaboration of each

I visited Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare- Terrace St. Francis on June 5, 2015 and I observed a new geriatric patient, who is female and 81 years old. She fell on the ground and has a left hip fracture and an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), but the therapist and I did not know how this happened to her because she has dementia, and did not remember when the therapist asked her or her sister, who is the only person responsible for the patient, was not with her during the session. After the evaluation was done to the patient, it was concluded that the patient has muscle weakness and mild pain in

In “My Experience with Older Adults” paper is different from my perspective on the elderly now. Taking this course has broadened my understanding of the senior citizen generation. I had experience on my cultures definition of what it means to be an elderly. All I knew, was giving the outmost respect to the elders. In addition, being anti nursing homes due to my upbringing and culture. However, this course exposed me to many practices, cultures, beliefs, traditions, rituals, and concepts in the older adult communities. In this paper, I will discuss a few concepts and practices I’ve learned in the course.

No matter how young you, are you could heavily impact someone's education. Some schools have a program where the older students are paired with younger ones. First of all, one way it can help with the younger is teaching them to deal with older people. Second of all, it will help them get experience and show them how to take responsibility. Third of all, it will show them how to be kind to one another.

Thank you to all of my friends and the whole class of 2016 for making so many memories over the years that won’t be forgotten. It’s been a long ride for some of us who have known each other since the beginning, and I hope the future turns out bright for all of you. I want to thank Coach Chadbourne and Coach Sirois for making four years of varsity baseball an amazing and positive experience.

How can nurses ensure that older people are treated with respect and dignity whist being cared for in hospital or in the community?

One of the greatest challenges of the twenty first century will be the tremendous increase in the number of older adults throughout the world. Elderly people are the most rapidly increasing age group in Canada. In 2000 there was about 3.8 million Canadians were 65 years older. Statistics of Canada projects that by 2021, it will get doubled (Hick S., 2010, p.270). It is sure that this demographic trend will affect most part of our society, especially the health care needs and the delivery of health services. There will be a huge increase in the issues that affect the older Canadians. It is important that future health care professionals especially the social Service workers should be prepared to meet the needs of the increasing aging population across the globe. This paper examines the main problems faced by senior population in Canada, the different social work theories related to ageism and the different roles, values, knowledge and responsibilities needed for gerontological social work practice.
