Week 4 Journal Entry
Successful Aging through Senior Housing
Journal writing provides a nonthreatening way to explore different thoughts, ideas, and topics without being concerned about audience presentation. The process of writing can facilitate reflection and allow you to express your feelings regarding your educational experiences, as well as clarify your thinking.
Please write about the following in your journal:
What is successful aging? Imagine yourself at 80 years of age. What does successful aging look like to you, and how might it improve your final years in life if you are fortunate to reach 80 years of age?
When considering your aging self, describe the senior living options you would consider for yourself. Provide rationales or reasoning for those options.
At what age do you envision wanting to make the transition (or transitions) from the living arrangements you have now?
What factors might influence your decision to transition to other living arrangements?
What are factors that would deter you from choosing senior living options?
What role do aging service providers have in guiding aging adults seeking aging services?
Your journal entry should be 250 to 400 words long. No outside research is expected and, therefore, no references are needed.
