    Primrose Retirement Community: An Adaptive Culture

    An adaptive culture embraces change, creativity, open-mindedness, growth, and learning. I work in Primrose Retirement Community, as an example, every year in September we raise money by selling Krispy Kreme donuts for the Alzheimer's Association. The employee who sells the most box gets a prize. An adaptive culture views the organization's survival and success in terms of ongoing adaptation to the external environment. We are helping out the Alzheimer's Association in our community and at the same time increasing the motivation of the employees by rewarding them. This also helps employees to network outside of the organization and expand their skills and knowledge. We have to sell the donuts outside of our organization so we all had to think…

    Why Elderly Fall In Long Term Home

    While there are numerous reasons why elderly in the long term facility fall, this paper narrow its research on the most common causes of falls. Elderly do not react well to change, and as such, a change in an environment particularly a new environment could can result into fall. The rate at of falls in newly admitted residents in the long term facilities is on the rise, this as a result of unfamiliarity with their environment during the time of admission. It should be noted that not all elderly usually want tasks to be performed for them, they still prefer some level of independence and while trying to assist themselves with one task or the other, the unfamiliarity in the environment can simply cause fall.…

    Aging In Residential Care Research Paper

    Ageing in place is a popular term in current ageing policy, and it is defined as remaining living in the community, with some level of independence, rather than in residential care [7]. This concept is about enabling older people to maintain independence, autonomy, and connection to social support, including friends and family. Having people remaining in their homes and communities for as long as possible also avoids the cost of institutionalization and is therefore favored by policy makers, health providers, and by many older people themselves…

    Caring for Older People

    P3: Explain ways in which health and social care workers support the independence and wellbeing of older people. M2: Assess ways in which health and social care workers support the independence and wellbeing of older people. D1: Evaluate ways in which the sectors work together to support the independence and wellbeing of older people. Doris has stayed connected with her friend Frieda who lives on her own independently but recently she has had a fall and she has been referred to the local authorities. P1& M2 When promoting independence and wellbeing in older people it has to be done in a way where the person feels that they are able to do what they are being asked to do and if they say that they don’t want to do it that is when the care professionals will step in a help. But to support a person’s independence this can be done in many ways and a few ways that can be used are to not take over, so this means that if someone is able to do something like push the button on the traffic light or they are able to dress themselves without help, the care professionals will see if the person wants to do what they are being asked to do like getting themselves dressed and if they don’t this is when they will step in; but to support the independence of the person care professionals must not step when they know that someone is able to do something that they are being asked to do, this is effective and this is because it gives the person a sense of control and it gives them a sense of confidence as well as this is because if someone is being told to do something they are being told that they can do what they are being asked and they are very able to do so; this will make them believe in themselves a bit more if they feel that they are not able to do a lot of things. But then it can also have a negative effect and this is because if someone is being asked to do something they might begin to feel that they are getting told what to do not asked…
