    Aging is an important aspect of life and planning must be done to ensure that as we age that we have the support and resources available that we need to be taken care of properly. Families have different situations that have to be address as a person in their family reaches old age. Family decisions should be made that keep the care and wellbeing of the older members of the family as the primary concern. Not all decisions are going to be the same for all families and each individual situation would need to be considered to determine what is going to work best for each family. I will look at some aspects of planning and what I have discussed with my family going forward.…

    There were many choices and ways that I could have gone for my activism action assignment, and in the end I chose to work a shift with my friend Justin at a nursing home for the elderly. Since I will be discussing different details of the shift in this essay, I will leave the name of the nursing home disclosed. However, I can say that it is located in the Pickerington area which is very close to where I live. Going in to this I truly wanted to find out not necessarily the working conditions and of the employees, but to see how they treated the elderly and the sick at the nursing home. Since in class we’ve discussed institutions and society, and questioned how society has treated people who get up in age and what they essentially do with them.…

    Reimbursement and quality, improvement in long term care systems, Medicaid has complained about reimbursements have been lower and if they become lower than quality car would suffer. However, if states set Medicaid nursing home reimbursement levels and the federal government make changes also think the quality of care will come down or suffer. The withdrawal of services will affect quality, if they are not covered or no longer funded than these services will no longer be provided. It seems that no matter what the reimbursement levels are it does not affect the quality of care given by the staff.…

    We’re all going to get old. It’s not something people want or like to think about. In fact, some people, even adults, are hesitant to spend time with elderly people because it can remind them of their own mortality. [5] There’s no doubt that some aspect of aging will be uncomfortable or undesirable. [1] Whether it’s your family pushing you into a senior living center, having health issues, facing age discrimination or really just having your body fail (which it surely will), some part of aging is going to suck.…

    I think the neighborhood approach is practical depending on where one lives and the relationships an elderly person has with the neighbors around them. The closer someone is, relationships-wise, to their neighbor, the more inclined the neighbor will be on checking on the elderly neighbor. For example, when my grandma was still alive, her next-door neighbors, who she knew for many years, looked out for her and would do kind gestures such as rotate which neighbor mowed her lawn as they knew she lived alone and did not have the energy to do those physically demanding tasks anymore. My family and grandmother were very appreciative of those neighbors because they took time out of their days to do something for someone who wanted to age in her home but needed additional help taking care of the yard. As I mentioned before that the location of where someone lives could impact if neighbors are willing to help, I feel that where my family and I live, a house with a driveway off a decently busy road, the practical help from neighbors would not work as well as it did for my grandma who lived in a small neighborhood.…
