I don’t believe there should be a mandatory retirement age. Taking away the choice to work affects people. Everyone should be able to make that choice for themselves. In the article “Ten Years Later: A Follow-Up Study of Professors Still Working After Age 70, Dorfman conducted a study on working after the retired age. According to Dorfman (2002) “Retired professors retired mainly because of age or felt it was time to retire” (p 1). If a person has reached the retirement age but still has the…

Our group came together with the idea of assisting the elderly. While researching, we found an elderly home named Chelsea which is located in Fanwood, New Jersey. Chelsea’s community is very welcoming and all the employees show respect and care for the seniors and visitors. After we researched and learned more about our community of need, we decided to search up activities and ideas that would please the seniors and be fun to do with the elderly. We found common activities that elderlies could…

The book of Romans is one of the most foundational books in the New Testament. The book of Romans teaches us about us about the many aspects of Christianity. It teaches us about the many aspects of Christianity. It teaches us about us how we should view the natural world, our identity, relationships, and culture.

As people age, it is evident that they become incapable of fully taking care of themselves. Families struggle with accepting and discussing this topic. Nursing homes provide the necessary care and treatment that all elderly people need. As the numbers of the elderly community are increasing due to the population of baby boomers, we as a society, need to make sure they are getting the necessary treatment. A multitude of people believe that nursing homes are not meant to be in society, because…

It was an extremely easy choice for me when we were told to pick our topic for the senior project. I immediately decided that I wanted to focus on the injustice that the elderly have been experiencing for quite some time now concerning depression and other mental illnesses. Researching and studying the causes and effects that elderly depression can have has truly been an eye opening experience. It has been fascinating seeing why psychologists and therapists have generally been glazing over…

Elderly people have and are facing an intriguing yet devastating problem: loneliness. While loneliness is usually thought of as just a psychological state, there are many physical health ramifications. Loneliness is complex and detrimental for health for all ages, but elderly people especially often have limited means of solving it. While younger individuals usually have the ability to go out and meet with people, the elderly may not have this same opportunity. Many suffer alone with…

Often times, maturity is known to be heavily dependent with that of one’s age. However, this common belief is not necessarily true. Maturity is often gained through experiences and understanding, rather than seniority. Although being older does offer more time for enlightening experiences, this does not fully cancel out possibilities of younger individuals being exposed to the same instances in a shorter time. Many adults who lack meaningful experiences grow into debatably pathetic human beings…

Lewy Body Dementia is the second most common type of dementia following Alzheimer's. The disease causes degeneration of the brain…

Firstly, physical well-being include lifestyle behaviour choice to ensure health, avoid preventable diseases and to live in a balanced state of body, mind and spirit. The…
