Needs a literature review to back up the program proposal talking about sensory research, declines, adaptations, etc with sensory research in Long Term Care specificially with dementia/Alzheimer’s patients. This is the program proposal and it needs more beefing up, needs an evaluation and a funding logic model with resources needed.

Category: Gerontology
a. Social Issue Paper (4-6 pages, double-spaced) 100pts
Select one social issue related to older adults in the selected country other than the US. (e.g., nursing home care, family caregiving, pension policy reform, elder abuse, etc.). Describe how the issue exists and is addressed in the chosen country first. Describe then how the chosen issue exists and is dealt with in the US. Conclude your paper with a discussion of cross-national differences and/or similarities with proper references to reviewed articles.
At least five scholarly articles should be cited in the paper. Must cite all sources in the body of paper, as well as a reference list at the end.
Construct a map that defines gerontology for you
Identify the key concepts and how they relate to one another
Start with “gerontology” at the top of your page then get more specifics as you move down toward the bottom
Write a 3-page reflection paper explaining your concept map
Explain to the reader how the concepts you placed on your map connect to help meet the needs of older adults
Describe where you see yourself in terms of a future career and the future of gerontology
This assignment / paper is not a typical term paper or opinion paper,
rather, a research based paper that is similar in nature to a mini-thesis, as
help with your continuation into graduate school.
I would like you to introduce your future career path in
Gerontology. Please describe your future
job, duties, and why you selected this career.
Looking through the topics in this Financial Planning for the Aging
course, which topic will you deal with or work with or incorporate into your
future career?
I would like you to further explore that area of study. Please elaborate
on this topic, such as health care for the aging, or estate planning (legal
issues with the aging), etc.
What areas of this topic do you feel you can help or address when you
are working? What do you hope to
accomplish in this career? Are there any
challenges or problems you can address?
You can use articles, videos, support material that I have offered but
you will also need to introduce at least three new sources; one source must be
a journal article. A journal article includes original research with a
hypothesis and introduction, a method, sample and measures, results, findings
and discussion. Your goal is to find a
journal article with research that supports or conflicts the issues / problems
you are hoping to address with your career. You are to voice your opinion and have a
stance on what you think of it. You can refer to the research and findings from
the journal article.
Refer to at least 3 support articles (sources which can include Ted
Talks, Podcasts, videos, etc.) on your
chosen topic that summarizes, analyzes, discusses, and compares and contrasts
concepts from those these articles, including the one study (journal).
Although Dementia isn’t curable, progress is being made to slow the progression. For your final project, find 3 fairly recent journal articles (5 if you are taking this for graduate credit) on the topic of advances in dementia or Alzheimer’s treatment. Write a 3-5 page paper (5-7 pages for a graduate student) using the textbook, journal articles, and any other reliable sources found on the internet (.gov or .org are usually good-do not use Wikipedia or Blog posts). Include a title page and a reference page (not included in the total page count) with 12-point font (Arial or Times New Roman) and standard 1 inch margins. References should be cited and the reference page should be in APA format. Please do not plagiarize or use AI to create your paper-it will result in a zero.

Goal: To examine (compare and contrast) competing views on challenges in major age-based social policies (and problems).
Content Areas:
1.Introduction & Data (5 points): What is the current crisis or challenge that needs to be addressed? How would you define it from social and economic perspectives? This section should include “background” data and statistics to help illustrate the problem or challenges.
2. Defining the Programs and Policy Issues : (5 points) What policies, programs, or options are already being discussed to address the challenge. What major policies or programs have already been created in this area and what do they contribute to the current situation in terms of services or benefits provided?
3. Future Issues and Debates: (10 points) This should be an important part of the paper; and not just be a listing of your own opinions. Please look for some solid resources where different opinions are being debated. What are some of the greatest challenges (politically or economically) affecting the future of this program or service? How many more people are expected to need these services or supports in the future? What changes, if any, might be needed, to prepare for meet demand and sustain these services?
4. APA-Style Citations & References: (5 points). This is important. I would like to see full and complete in-text citations (as a sign of academic respect and acknowledgment to the work you are using. I also want to see at least five (5) references used and discussed. That does not mean you have to use all sources in equal amounts; some sources can be used to provide useful facts and data, while other sources are needed to explain longer arguments, ideas, and decisions.
please fill out the paper first and then you have to write 12 pages including everything in the rubric and please don’t include title and references page in it. if you can’t complete it in 10 days, you can just send me the rough draft. thank you
Write a paper for your grant, product or a real or hypothetical program that you are trying to obtain support for. This should include a brief introduction of who you are, what you are proposing to do, and how much money you are requesting. This should be followed by a description of the project.
brief introduction of the topic with 3 or more relevant references from peer reviewed journals (not websites or lay magazine articles) and should be approximately 350 to 500 words long. Do not cut and paste material from websites.
Here are a few examples of previous papers: opening or expansion of a retirement community, a start up business, a grant for a new Adult Day Health program, funding for a feasibility study to develop a PACE program, support for a grandparent mentoring program, and a grant to expand the County Ombudsman program.
Please organize your article summary as follows:
Paragraph 1:
describe the research question(s) and why this topic is interesting or important to study (according to the authors)
describe what the researchers predicted they would find (hypotheses) and why (theory)
include an APA in-text citation to this article in the first paragraph
Paragraph 2:
describe how the participants were recruited and sampled
describe who the participants were, including some demographics that will help evaluate how representative the sample may be
describe the variables measured and how the data were collected
Paragraph 3:
describe the main results (e.g., which hypotheses were supported or not supported)
describe the key implications (e.g., how these findings could be applied or why they matter)
Reference
APA reference citation to this article under the heading References (hanging indent, double spaced)
Your summary should be at least 500 words (including the reference citation), 12-point font, Times New Roman, and double spaced. You do not need to include a title page. Please write in complete sentences.
I want you to tell me what the article says, but in your own words. Do not directly quote any language from this article. One of the learning objectives of this assignment is to improve your ability to restate what you read in your own words. If the TurnItIn score indicates too high of similarity to the article or other sources, I will require you to rewrite the summary before I grade it.
