Future Challenges For Seniors

Growth and change in any organization can be a difficult time both for executives and for employees. When growth comes at an astounding rate, there are bound to be problems at all levels of the organization. Senior Health Plus (SHP) is a small, non-profit HMO based in Southern California. The company started as a grassroots organization that enjoyed a positive reputation for pioneering new ways to care for the elderly. This success has a price however, as the membership of SHP has grown exponentially in the past several years from 10,000 to 35,000 members. In response to this growth, management went on an expansion frenzy, moving all executives to a

42 USCS 3002, The Public Health and Welfare, Chapter 35, lists the programs for older Americans. The Aging and Disability Resource Center is a part of the State’s system of long term care.

As a program coordinator for the Southern California College Advising Corps (SCCAC), a college access program that missions itself on improving college outcomes for low-income, first- generation, and underrepresented students, one of the biggest hurdles I have seen through my staff members has been combatting motivation levels during the second semester of a high school student’s senior year. Overseeing the Long Beach district, every single one of the SCCAC advisors has experienced this phenomenon, especially during the spring semester. For most students at the Long Beach high schools, they gain a sense of ‘senioritis’ after having completed their college and financial aid applications. Though the term is not talked in much detail in academic research, ‘senioritis’ is a term the advisors have been hearing from their students more frequently. Senioritis is simply the lack of motivation or performance that high school seniors face as it gets closer to their possible graduation, (Merriam-Webster's collegiate dictionary, 2017).

The world is filled with myths. Most of us have been told that Poinsettias are poisonous. We have also been told that dogs sweat through their tongue and that bats are blind. Each of these statements has some truth to it, but each is also categorically false. They are nothing more than myths and urban legends. Small amounts of truth that have been blown up until they become something that extends beyond reality. Believe it or not, even home care for the elderly is not immune from the myth machine.

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

It is been an evident problem in high school because they think their job is done after they click that ‘submit’ button on their computers, which signifies the completion of their college applications. This is around the time of winter break, so this when students gradually lose their motivation to finish the last leg in their high school career out strong. However, the article “The Truth About Senioritis” by Kat Cohen

Christmas break is over and the Spring Semester has begun. The seniors are acting a little sluggish and are starting to avoid their work. A phantom disease, something that has never been diagnosed among anyone, is now taking over the senior class. Senioritis has now kicked into effect. Teachers know that this epidemic is going to run through the halls every year starting around this time and that it is inevitable. This ‘disease’ has been invading schools for many years. Every year students get this so called disease and often ruin their last year of highschool or college. Students can see many effects to know they have senioritis, can do many things to avoid it, and only one thing to get rid of it.

Senioritis is hard for some people and for some people is easy. Many people find because they are worried about going to college and they have some other problems in their life. Many for us starts worrying about like summer vacation, like oh I am going to be senior this year what am going to do and all this. Many people are worried because they think that way, I am not going to be here next here and what am going to do after high. Has an example If you finished middle school than you still know that you are going to some different school, but like after high school your life is start to being in a different way. You have to worried about you careers and yourself. Some student they don’t know how to deal with in senior year and after graduation it’s pretty hard for them.

One in six Canadians have a chronic disease, with these chronic diseases being especially prevalent in the elderly population, individuals 55 years of age or older. Elderly populations have four times the rate of chronic disease compared to the overall population (Government of Canada, 2017). In fact, population aging was stated as one of the three most prominent elemental determinants of chronic disease development, along with globalization and urbanization, by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2005. One major form of chronic disease is osteoporosis, with related expenditures totaling over $2.3 billion per year (Tarride et al., 2012), contributing to the ever-increasing health care costs in Canada. However, many chronic diseases such

Senioritis is a common issue across American schools today and can have many different intensities that come along with it. The main cause of such an event is the loss of motivation, especially one who may already know what they are doing for future endeavors such as college or having an awesome job plan lined up for themselves. Everything from just wanting to graduate high school already, to truly despising the building you are locked up in all fall under what senioritis truly represents. Within Woodstock Union High School, whose numbers are slightly less than 400 students, one can see how broad of a spectrum this whole issue has become today.

On August 17, 2015 I started my senior year of high school. I had looked forward to this year since I was in eighth grade. I had always heard about how much freedom a senior in high school is given. I was working hard towards my academic goals. While at the same time, planning my future, enjoying the football games and extra-curricular activities. I was truly enjoying my senior year but the journey came to an abrupt halt on the morning of October 1, 2015 when I became ill.

They have been trapped in high school for almost four years now. They trudge through every day, not paying much attention to the time that is flying by. It hasn’t occurred to them how soon they will be out of the prison called high school…until now. Most, if not all, seniors catch a case of senioritis early or mid-term in their senior year. Once they have caught senioritis, there is little hope that they will recover, at least not until they receive their high school diploma. Upon catching senioritis, students no longer find joy in the day to day attending of classes. The seniors begin to realize that half of the classes that they are taking won’t matter in the long run of their career ambitions. The awe and terror of what high school was before they started now starts to crumble at the foundation. There are a few exceptions to the contraction of this horrid disease, however. Seniors who get involved come to appreciate the fact that they will no longer be able to attend high

A common problem student’s face here at Arrowhead is the frustration of changing teachers between semesters in core classes and needs to be addressed by the staff to resolve the frustration and find an understanding by having students remain with the same teacher through the scheduling. Instead of being happy in their classes, students are finding themselves frustrated with having to adapt to a new teacher and new learning style. A recent survey was created asking students whether or not they have switched teachers between semesters and If so, if it had caused frustration to the student. 66.7% of the students stated that it has caused frustration for them due to the teacher change and that it is hard for them to adapt to the new teaching style

Learning is not a skill that is necessarily instinctual or easy, and therefore different approaches must be used to make learning easier and more fun for students. Teaching is not a skill that can be memorized or made repetitive, and so teachers must continue to challenge not only their students, but also themselves. Teachers that become complacent in their jobs are not good teachers. Those who can find a way to make an old lesson new and exciting will have an energized classroom, and will be reenergized themselves.
