Assignment: Aging In Place For Those With Limited Income

Individuals who have the financial means to do so can purchase the services needed to age in place. For those who don’t have the financial means to purchase services at market rate prices the options become limited if not non-existent. Many low-income seniors depend on either Medicaid waiver or OAA funded community based services however these programs frequently have waiting lists.

Write a 2-3 page paper that discusses potential changes in policy, programming and/or services that could help alleviate the challenges of aging in place for those with limited income.

Support your statements with evidence from the Required Studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
