After reviewing this week’s learning resources, respond to the following discussion prompts. For full credit, provide a full, well-substantiated response to the discussion question, referencing this week’s readings and/or (cited) outside sources. Respond thoughtfully to the posts of at least two of your classmates.
Is it always less costly to keep an older adult living in the community rather than a nursing home or assisted-living facility? Why or why not?
Can an LTSS network be developed that does not require a family member or friend to provide essential services? How would you manage that development?
What types of stakeholders are most dependent on the existing LTSS and why?
An excellent response will be at least 3-4 paragraphs in length, using complete sentences and concise language.
Your initial post is due on Sunday evening at 11:59 p.m. ET. In addition to your main post, please respond to at least 2 other students’ posts by Tuesday evening at 11:59 p.m. ET. When responding to other students’ posts, make an effort to refer to something specific from the Learning Resources and/or and idea or an example that adds to the dialogue. Refer to the syllabus for more details about discussion participation.
Please be sure to use APA citations in your text and to include your reference list. When you refer to and/or discuss any resources, you need to include a citation for that source, such as: (Braincraft, 2015). For more info on APA style, visit the APA Citations and Style module in this online classroom.
