About This Course

This course provides an in-depth exploration of services and supports available to older adults, focusing on the intersections of aging policy, social services, healthcare, and community-based resources. Students will examine the frameworks and policies that shape services for older populations and assess innovative practices that enhance quality of life, independence, and well-being. Key topics include long-term care, health and mental health services, housing options, caregiving dynamics, end-of-life planning, and advocacy. Through case studies, policy analysis, and community engagement, students will critically assess service delivery models, evaluate the impact of current policies, and explore interdisciplinary approaches to addressing the needs of a growing aging population.
