The Fundamentals Of Caregiving

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

They observe that family caregivers were concerned about possible damage to the self-image of older adults and were uneasy about exposing them to upsetting situations. This is evidence enough that fundamental change in clinical practice is called for and that there are barriers that tend to affect services access by dementia sufferers and family caregivers.

When one thinks of grandparents, they are usually compared to as being a wiser adult who has had various positive and negative life experiences and throughout it all managed to keep their family together. The family structure has changed and more grandparents are forced into parenting for second generation children. Raising second generation children can be difficult for the grandparents who have been forced into the role of becoming a primary caregiver. Most children have a loving and trusting relationship with their grandparents, but when the roles have been forced to change the environment changes as well. With the mass amount of changes happening to the family structure, it was necessary to assist these secondary grandparents in learning how to promote and advocate in their new roles as secondary parents. With the structural changes faced by African Americans, it was appropriate to use this group because of the barriers and challenges faced and it allows for a replication with other groups. African American women can become dominant in an unfamiliar setting, so limiting the size of the group was justifiable and allowed for more interaction and engagement among participants. Using the family system theory would be necessary because this theory places an emphasis on reciprocal relationships and mutual influences between the individual components (Barker, p. 157).

Standardized savings is a standout amongst the best government programs in the United States.

As President Bush underscores, " Social Security is one of the greatest achievements of the American government, and one of the deepest commitments to the American people." But in spite of its achievements, the program has two There is a major issue.

Overall it was a socking video, since in the beginning everything was clear that caregivers were guilty based on the bruises that they were finding it on the child’s face or body, so they immediately made a decision on who is guilty because the caregivers were the last people who were with the baby. However, everything turned out the opposite of what the judges were judging the caregivers. Not every bruises appears on the baby’s body can be a sign of abuse. Based on the video the lawyer or the judge was mentioning that after the child’s dead if we cannot prove the cause of the child’s dead the caregiver is the one who’s guilty, which I think it’s not correct, instead of making wrong statement about the caregivers they should search more on

“The Fundamentals of Caring” is a film about Ben, a care-worker who looks after a young boy named Trevor, and the events that proceed through their growing relationship. Ben is a retired writer and his wife is trying to divorce him, likely because of the death of their son, which occurred three years prior. Ben failed to park the car properly, causing the the gear of the car to shift and roll back, killing his son . Elsa, Trevor’s extremely over-protective mother, has hired Ben because of her long hours of work as a bank clerk. Trevor is an eighteen year old boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, so he is restricted to a wheelchair and requires around the clock care due to his disease. Ben convinces Elsa that Trevor needs to see the world, and since Trevor is obsessed with American roadside attractions, Elsa hesitantly agrees. (citation)While on their way to see the deepest pit in the world, they stop at a diner and meet a young woman named Dot who is twenty-one. During their adventure Trevor and Dot end up having romantic feelings for each other, which leads to a kiss initiated by Dot as she says goodbye and promises to keep in touch. Ben quits as Trevor’s caregiver but the two stay very close friends. The movie ends with Ben finishing his novel about Trevor, while saying that he went to go visit Trevor on his twenty-first birthday, seeing Trevor lying presumably dead on the floor with the caregiver crying next to him. However, Trevor was only faking and the caregiver quit

In the absence of biological parents, grandparents may assume the role as the caregivers of their grandchildren. The absence of a biological parent may be due to incarceration, drug abuse, mental illness or military deployment (Yancura, 2013). Each of which disallow acceptable care from the biological parent which sometimes places the burden to care for the child on the grandparent. This absence is commonly known as custodial grand-parenting (Population Reference Bureau, 2011). In these circumstances the grandparent often takes the grandchild into care to avoid them going into foster-care. While this may be necessary for the children’s safety, permanency, and well-being, this may also contribute to serious problems affecting the grandparent’s own well-being. According to Yancura, the risk of physical, intellectual, or emotional stress becomes greater the longer a grandparent cares for their grandchild. It may be severely overwhelming for grandparents to meet the essential needs for a child’s well-being when already at a point in life when their own health problems are at a rise (Barusch, 2013). Balancing care for oneself and for the grandchild becomes stressful. Barusch (2013) explains, often grandparents must sacrifice their own well-being and instead nurture the grandchild. However, among the difficulties, grandparents still may feel an obligation to care for their grandchildren. Census (2010) reports a growing number of grandchildren in the United States are living
