Community Outreach Assignment Posting
Community Outreach: Post Summary on discussion board; (for commenting on classmates post)
To explore the aging population in Portland (or your local community), please do one of the following activities or create one of your own and pass it by me for approval. This activity will entail 2-3 hours of time that may be counted toward your total time in the community. Select option below. Compare your experience to your experience at your main volunteer location (or online sites). Address how socioeconomic disparities, ethnic & racial disparities and/or healthcare disparities may impact a person's ability to choose to use the resources you explored in your community outreach assignment? In addition, please comment on at least 1 of your colleagues posts for full assignment credit.
Option 1: Modified: This term the likelihood of being able to enter nursing homes or care centers is getting better! You can arrange in person visits or you can go online and review 2 websites of care facilities and compare and contrast the sites to share with the class. Tell us about your impressions of the homes based on their web presence. What was the environment like? (be descriptive--lighting, paint on walls, pictures, rooms-shared? 2 or 3 to a room, able to have personal belongings in rooms? Activities? home-like? designated room for families to visit in? staff ratio if available, how much does it cost to live there?) Compare and contrast to a 2nd site or to your experience this term. Summary should be 1 page.
