    The focus of this course is on case management and assessment of the elderly in community-based long-term care. More specifically, this course focuses on case management designed to maintain frail elderly in their own homes rather than on case management designed for post-acute situations (discharge planning). The perspective on assessment will be similarly focused. Although hospital-based (in-patient) clinical assessment and institutional (nursing home) assessment will be addressed, this course does not overly focus on these methods.

These interconnections offer students a sense of an evolving, coherent discipline. This course combines the findings of both academic applied psychology of later life and the biological implications of later life. Includes chapters on physical processes, cognition, psychopathology and death and dying. Each chapter begins with an extensive discussion of the academic research, followed by a section describing clinical applications of the research findings.
  

  • GRON 3327 - Social Policy and Aging

    Credits: 3
    This course is designed to teach public policies that have the greatest influence on the lives of older persons and those that have been promulgated, especially because of concern for older persons. This class addresses the evolution of policies as an outgrowth of developments in our society. The processes by which policies are introduced, debated, established and the details of specific policies are discussed in detail. Finally, this class allows students to understand that the policy process requires an appreciation of its roots in our unique constitutional form of government and the evolution of its history over the years.
