Size of the Group A group on aging should have anywhere from eight to twelve people (Corey, 2010). This is a manageable size for group leaders and is small enough to facilitate discussion between members. Additionally, it would be ideal if the group could meet once a week. The group itself, as stated earlier, would likely take place in a nursing or retirement home for the sake of convenience for residents without a car. The added benefit to this is that those who are confined to a retirement…

On average the aging population can survive on less than $2000 per month. This does vary by lifestyle and region, but since I'm considered lower middle class, this is a fair assumption in my area.
