Conduct an interview with a professional from a local human service agency that works with older adults. Inform the agency that their identity will not be disclosed.

Interview a professional from the agency about assessment methods he or she uses with clientele. Address the following topics in your questions:

  • What long-term care considerations are made when working with older adults?
  • How does the professional assess physical needs?
  • How does the professional assess mental and cognitive needs?
  • What approach does the professional take to caring for older adults: integrative or interdisciplinary?
  • How does the agency address end-of-life issues?

 

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word summary paper that consolidates the key points of each team members’ interviews, and describe the similarities and differences between the methods used within each agency.

 

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.
