Describe housing options for older adults and the level of care available through each option. Reflect on the option you find personally most preferable to the others.

What will be an ideal response?


Housing and living arrangements beyond private ownership include living with independent living, such as low or moderate -income housing, assisted living, adult day care in which older adults return home at the end of the day, nursing homes and skilled care. Each of these settings requires the work of social workers to provide assistance in assessing the correct level of need of the person, working with families to aid in the transitions and provide direct care within the settings such as group work or personal counseling. Personal choice is up to the student.
