Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community Resources for Older Adults: Programs and Services in an Era of Change, Fourth Edition, by Robbyn Wacker and Karen Roberto, provides an in-depth review of policy and programs for the "aging network," answering such key questions as "How have programs for older adults evolved?" "Who uses these resources?" "How are they delivered?" and "What challenges do service providers face in meeting the needs of the aging baby-boom generation?" To give students the foundational knowledge they need to meet the needs of their older clients, the authors provide a theoretical framework for understanding the forces that shape older adults' likelihood to seek assistance, include in-depth reviews of the current body of empirical literature in each program area, and discuss the challenges programs and services will face in the future.

Book excerpt: Background: As they age, older adults are often forced to change their living environments to accommodate their growing medical and personal needs. However, alternative living options are often less desired and present other challenges. Aging in place is the ability for individuals to choose where they live as they age, prioritizing the aging person’s choice and providing resources to support it. Purpose: The Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minnesota currently has a population of nearly 472,000 older individuals, and it is only continuing to rise. Although infrastructure exists that supports aging in place, not all older individuals get adequate services or any services at all. This needs-based assessment identifies the resources available for AIP in the Twin Cities metropolitan area and the major barriers this population faces. Methods: A combination of a case study interview and non-systematic review of national and local resources was used to identify main themes of barriers for aging in place. This mixed approach was chosen to obtain specialized insight to the current resources and needs of the aging community in the Twin Cities metropolitan area while exploring the breadth of resources available at larger levels. Conclusions: Between national and local resources, the Twin Cities metropolitan area offers a number of services that help with ADLs, housing, healthcare and mental health, and financial assistance. Despite these services, there are still challenges with aging in place that prevent many older adults in the area from aging where and how they want. Five major themes were identified as barriers in place: 1) the cost of healthcare and mental health services, 2) limited affordable housing options, 3) the combination of inadequate infrastructure for accessible living spaces and transportation, 4) lack of adequate financial support, and 5) absence of adequate culturally specific services. These barriers are rooted in national systemic inequity and require a more equitable approach to address the challenges faced by older adults in the Twin Cities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linda Abbit, founder of Tender Loving Eldercare and a veteran of the caregiving industry, shares her advice on taking care of an older parent or loved one and how to handle everything that goes along with this dramatic life change. Being a caregiver can be a difficult role. It requires patience, tenderness, selflessness, and hard work. Providing care for someone, whether it’s a parent, a loved one, or as a professional requires a high level of self-love and self-care. But while it may be a rewarding experience to care for a loved one, the emotional and physical stress of caregiving can lead to burnout and exhaustion—causing caregivers to put themselves and their own well-being in the background. How can you fulfill your role as a caregiver without losing yourself? Conscious Caregiver teaches you how to navigate caring for your loved one, whether it’s full-time in-house caregiving or hiring support from outside services. With information on how to talk to your loved ones about the situation, handle the emotional stress, stay financially secure, and take the time to care for yourself, this guide can help you care for your loved one and yourself at the same time.
