The Australian Institute of Family Studies states

that the older the Australia's older generations,

those age 65

older continued to grow and is projected to be more than double by 2000 and 57.

The ageing population is creating both pressure and

opportunity for Australia's health and welfare sector.

The desire of many older people to remain in their own homes

as the age has led to an increasing focus on

the provision of aged care services in community settings.

Individual diversity refers to the characteristics

of different people who make up the

group and older person is defined by the Australian Institute of Families.

As an individual who is 65 years and over.

Persons with disabilities may include individuals

with long term physical mental health or

health and intellectual or sensory disabilities that

may prevent complete and effective participation.

As you can see in the table above that,

there are positive and negative terminology that I used

to describe the aged for positive there is knowledgeable,

experienced and wise.

These will help impacting them well being in a positive way as it gives them

a sense of belonging such as there is negative over here where it's old,

weak, crippled and a burden.

This impacts them into health in a negative way,

as it gives them,

makes them feel that they don't belong in

society and that they are annoying society.

Referring to the age as weak or a burden can impact their well being in a negative

way as older people who feel they are a

burden perceive their lives to be less valuable,

putting them at risk of depression and social isolation,

which can lead to health and life threatening situations.

At the same time,

knowledge and life experience give seniors a broader perspective on life,

which impacts their well being in a positive way,

as before they have a purpose in life.

Juxtaposed by the negative terminology will make them

feel as they have no purpose in life,

therefore impacting their well being in a negative way.

There are many services the age needs,

such as an adequate standard of living good health, safety and security,

a sense of identity, education and employment,

the adequate standard of living.

Everyone has a right to an adequate standard of living.

Even the aged aged people, like all individuals, are entitled to secure,

safe and appropriate housing.

Yes, most older people live with family members in private homes,

but at the same time, not all have access to this.

As people age, there are likely to undergo changes in their living arrangements.

Losing a spouse or a family member are experiencing

a disability are factors that cause such change.

The living arrangements of older people vary by age,

gender and whether whether they need assistance in

everyday activities as demonstrated in the human rights of

age persons outlining the needs that the age

people need for an adequate standard of living,

such as shelter rails on stairs and wheelchair ramps at home.

But then again, not all aged people have a disability.

But but aged people do need to be aware of all the services that are provided for them,

which allows them to have an adequate standard of living good health,

safety and security, a sense of identity, good education and employment

health.

For older people, they have a variety of physical behaviour and mental needs.

But heavier changes can refer to the personal and emotional changes that are

personal experience as a result of life stage events such as retirement,

social isolation and relocation as the body ages various systems

with various systems weekend and become more susceptible to illness.

Elderly people have a variety of short term,

short term and long term health problems,

often need medical assistance to prevent and treat various health problems.

It is evident that through the World Health Organisation

that common conditions in older age include hearing loss,

Carter, cataracts and refractive errors,

back and neck, arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes,

depression and dementia.

As people age,

they are more likely to experience several conditions at the same time.

Yeah,

another one is sense of identity

and safety and security, education and employment

for 16 security age people are more at

risk of being exploited financially or physically harmed

by relatives or nursing home staff due to the fact that they can't and aren't able to

do much about it because they're getting older and

unable to perform activities like they used to.

The age also needs safe and functional homes, for example,

handrails and ramps to enjoy.

They don't fall and injure themselves because

in terms of security,

the age you need to prevent danger and injury danger

for injury in the surrounding through the aged care online.

You can access it anytime.

Fitness precautions and safety houses needed in regard for caring for the aged.

Mhm.

But like I said at the same time, not all age to have a disability.

But they are getting weaker and they do need more help than they used to need.

They aren't able to perform daily activities or normal things that they used to,

which is why they are services like the governments

and the health organisations that help them with these.

And they do need to. They do need education, employment,

um, have a sense of identity, safety and security,

health and an adequate standard of living.

These all fall under the category of a sense of identity as a person.

Sense of identity may decrease when they age, as they

no longer have the responsibilities they used

to have continuing to participate in social

and other activities that they can help them maintain their sense of identity.

The Aged Care Assessment Services provides teams to help

for real older people and carers to work out what kind of care will best

meet their needs and allow the age people to develop a strong sense of identity

mhm

education for elderly people as they're

partaking in education to stimulate their minds

and bodies and increase the communication skills in in an ever changing society.

Adult education is prevalent in Australian society,

with numerous programmes and courses aimed at the ageing population.

Hello care.

She uses a variety that is provided for the

age who are lacking in education and need assistance.

Open is another one which offers free

education and information sessions for older people,

their friends family representative receiving aged care

services to support informed decision making.

Lastly, there is education.

The older Australians at a glance stated in 2000 and 17/1 in seven people age 65

over of this population are increasingly working at older ages.

In 2000 and 18 January, Australians aged 65

over how to work force position paid of 13%.

Kota advocates forcefully removing barriers who are longer working life

for Australians and the right to older Australians to work

as long as I wish for and are able to, including measures to enable that.

Coda will continue to advocate that government substantially improved its

programmes to encourage increased participation rates of older workers,

including a more proactive approach to stamping our age discrimination.

Mhm.

There are many types of aged care services that are provided

for the aged as they are provided in the circle above.

This is all through the Australian Government Department of Health.

They worked with the Shining Government to ensure

that older people are able to access the care

and the best the best meets their needs that are no longer able to manage at home.

Without assistance.

There are pertinent services that the age needed relating to financial support,

transport counselling, education,

legal and aid employment where there are no help at home,

short term care or aged care homes.

My aged care provides help and assistance for the aged. In these categories,

characteristics such as age, gender,

level of education relates to the contribution of factors to health service.

Accessibility varies according to an older person's geographical location,

the access,

the accessibility to transport as well as the

level of multi mobility and cultural backgrounds.

Improving access to health services can be improved by

matching services of the population that they serve.

Support and services for the elderly in Australia

provided by a number of government programmes,

Commonwealth state territory and local and support

from the community and volunteers sectors,

especially families and caregivers.

Elderly people have the access to mainstream

support and services such as Medicare,

housing allowances, income support, etcetera.

This is available to the entire age population,

so the quarantine exactly what they will be and what they will affect them.

In summary, the number of programmes that are available for the interest is common.

Wealth provides the following payments that

support them either specifically to the

age community or through the mainstream programmes that the age can access,

such as age, pensions, residents, residential services,

rent assistance and disability payments.

New South Wales,

New South Wales Meals on Wheels provides the age with the meal support,

whether they are recovering from an illness or on a more permanent basis.

Core community services provides the age of the range of activities,

an event which impacts their mental well being in a positive way

as it gives them a sense of belonging and something to do,

which not only impacts their mental well being,

but also impacts the physical and social wellbeing.

The age pension is designed to meet the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter.

Access to this is based on income assets and a an age of 65

over old age Pensioners must have lived in Australia

for at least 10 years age because it provides financial

support to maintain financial stability and allows other people to

achieve an appropriate standard of living as they may need

additional post retirement financial support due to their age fan.

This is also in in short and so his financial security.

There are several challenges facing the elderly such as

above here,

creating opportunities for social interactions such as attending social

programmes as an effective solution to start with,

as we all know, the old age comes with physical,

social and emotional challenges which should be faced and

dealt with using these strategies to address these issues.

The absence of older people from places such as workplaces,

combined with the limited ways which volunteer

with young other adults encounter in their

day to day lives means that many people have little exposure to older Australians.

Older people are saying that places greater value in

what in person interactions and younger on younger generations.

Mhm

international aged care advocacy programme provides free and competent

ensure advocacy support for older people and their carers.

It also helps aged care service providers to understand their responsibilities

and the consumer rights of the people that they care for.

Services by them are vital for older people as I do

not feel they can negotiate or send them for their writers.

They need support to resolve issues with their age care.

The Older Persons Advocacy Network provide

these the specific services across Australia.

The programme provides advocacy services,

helping them to understand and access educate system

and informing them of their age their rights.
