Document Summary

As a patient advocate, many of your clients may be elderly or facing end-of-life issues so this week we will learn about elder care, long term care and end of life issues. Since there is a lot of cover, i am dividing the lecture into 2 parts. This power point will focus on elder care and long term care and part. 2 will focus on end of life issues. We will begin by discussing some issues related to elder care including long term care including types of long term care and financing of long term care and elder abuse/ As a patient advocate, you may be hired to help someone transition or prepare to transition to long term care. In addition to knowing the different types of long-term care and how to pay for it, you need to help the person assess the current needs and their future needs.
