“You’re Only Old Once” By: Dr. Seuss

Old Age Quiz True or False Elderly people are too old to hold responsible jobs. Elderly people are cute and adorable. Elderly people are senile. Elderly people are boring. Elderly people are in good or excellent health. Elderly people are ugly. Elderly people can think clearly. Elderly people can learn new things. Elderly people are a burden.

Old Age Answers False – They may not be as efficient where physical labor, speed or concentration are critical but most older workers perform as well as younger workers. False – Society often perceives older adults as children and treat them that way. False – It is normal for short-term memory to decrease over time and for information to be processed less efficiently than when they were young. By age 80, only 6% of the elderly population is senile.

Old Age Answers False – Old people have a wealth of experience and life stories that most are willing to share. True – Most aged people consider their health to be good or excellent most of the time. False – Our society is very youth-oriented, but that does not mean that only young people can be beautiful. Old age is a different king of beauty, one enhanced by character and wisdom.

Old Age Answers True – Older adults have a harder time picking up information because their eyesight and hearing often decline. The key to thinking clearly is being an active learner all your life, getting a good education and being in good health. True – The older generation is more interested in the arts, in children, are more creative, philosophical and spiritual than those younger. Many take classes or do volunteer work.

Old Age Answers False – Most older people live in their own homes and strive to be just as independent as possible. False – Most older people keep as busy as they would like to be pursuing household chores, hobbies, volunteer work and social networks. False – What percent do you think are in nursing homes? The actual number is 5%.

Assisted living What is it?

Aspects of Aging Emotional Aspects Physical Aspects Financial Aspects They may experience some identity problems in re-defining their roles as they age. Physical Aspects The human body matures at about the age of 25. At this point, the body begins to deteriorate. The organs become less efficient and sensory problems occur. Financial Aspects Finances are their greatest worry. Social Security, Medicare and Pension Plans are not adequate.

What is elder abuse? Elder abuse can be defined as "a single, or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust which causes harm or distress to an older person". Elder abuse can take various forms such as physical, psychological or emotional, sexual and financial abuse. It can also be the result of intentional or unintentional neglect.

It is estimated that between four and ten per cent of Ontario ’s seniors experience some type of abuse.

WHY ABUSE HAPPENS: • vulnerability - poor health, unable to care for themselves • families do not have time or patience to look after senior • controlling caregiver or family member • isolation • lack of communication • neglect - by family and society • financial problems - insufficient money for food, medical/dental needs, transportation •

caregiver stress, e.g. husband cannot cope with chronically ill wife and walks out • increased elderly population changes in society - two parents working, grandparents have to babysit; grandchildren have no respect for seniors adult children often do not have time to care for or visit parents
