| Objectives | Pre Test | Course Material | Post Test |
Summary
This course discusses the changes our bodies and minds make as we age.
We would not be able to recognize a problem to be explored or addressed if we did not know the difference between normal and expected changes and abnormal changes. The course will explore those differences and give the reader a solid reference point from which to start.
The differences in Long Term Care regulation and the typical state requirements of Assisted Living are not addressed in this course.
Some of the language is different for nursing homes than in assisted living such as:
| Nursing Home Language | Assisted Living Community Language |
|---|---|
| Care plans | Service plans |
| Admissions/discharges | Move-ins/move-outs |
| Facility | Community |
| Staff | Caregivers |
-
At the completion of this educational activity the course participant will be able to:
- Describe the normal physical changes that occur with aging.
- Describe the normal psychological changes that occur with aging.
- Explain normal social processes that occur in older adulthood.
- Recognize common illnesses that are higher risk for the older adult because of natural changes
