Chapter one outlines the five target areas that programs can focus on to promote, protect, and improve public health. Two of these targets relate directly to the material in the video in this regard. The communities in the video promote healthy behaviors by encouraging the community to be active and social. The video also references how suburban sprawl can lead to isolation, especially in elderly people who can no longer drive. Communities like those in the video protect the elderly by providing interaction and community interaction which can improve their overall…
Our small project focused on the leadership and service pillars. Every other week on Saturday from 1-3, we went to Summerwood of Chanhassen to work with the patients who have dementia. Typically we would run each session by doing activities with them. Each week the activities were different but some included, the alphabet game, memory/brain games, kick ball using a beach ball. Throughout the months, we really started to get to know the patients and connected with them and the patient’s looked forward to us coming. . Personally this experience was very…
The challenges I expect to face in the completion of this project would be the massive amount of information I have to decipher through. So far when I type in homeless veterans there is a vast array of material to go through. One the other hand that might be good as well because the message is out in the atmosphere about homeless veterans letting everyone in the world know that…

Over the year’s different theoretical approaches to group living provisions for adults have changed the way in which we offer our care services and living provisions. Person centred planning has had major impacts and affected group living in many ways, Eric Erikson developed a theory that divides an individual’s life into eight stages that extend from birth to death (unlike many developmental theories that only cover childhood). Erikson (1902-94) This means that when reviewing and updating the need of a service user you would not only look at their physical needs you would also review social and cognitive development. Erikson created the eight stages of developments from birth to death using this he considered basic conflicts of a service user of each stage. This table of development can be used to identify a service user’s potential conflicts which are relevant to the particular stage of development that they are at. For example when I support the service users I work with I take a holistic approach, I take into consideration developmental needs along with physical needs. I think the positives of this approach are that you meet service users specific needs whilst taking into account age related conflicts and we are also eliminating the unneeded grouping of service users i.e. Group Living.…

In today's day and age, the shuffle of everyday life can be inundating. With most families having both parents in the work force to sustain a whole household or with the absence of one parent into a single parent household. Making it even more difficult financial and adding to overall stress. It is unfortunate to say but at times we sacrifice our loved ones, whether it be young children or our elderly family members. Both young children and the elderly need constant supervision and assistance with their ADL. That's to say not all of the elderly population has family to look after their well being. A large number of the elderly…
With the increase amount of intergenerational activities it can bring children and seniors to a closer level and decrease ageism. This can bring the community closer and allow everyone to interact with each other rather treating each other as separate identity. For the seniors, it would improve their mental health, they would feel less lonely or isolated, increase their happiness, and physical activity as they learn to play games with the…
Following the incident, I began to immerse myself with opportunities of service and involvement. In addition to helping myself, I wanted to be a reason for another’s joy. Every week I spent time with my school’s Special Education program in hosting events and activities to make them inclusive. Within our first year, I was able to help begin a Special Olympics for my peers to participate in. However, I was also determined to impact the community outside of my school. For a project that I led press relations with, our Key Club’s Louisiana Strong Campaign was able to acquire more than 1,225 items within a month for victims of the Louisiana flooding. My years in service have brought me to understanding the content I receive when being able to bring fulfillment to others. As well, both of these projects represented that although I am only an individual, it only takes one person to be a catalyst of relief for many.…
