Emerging Areas - 5/2/17
The emerging area of practice I chose was Aging in Place. I am very interested in geriatrics so this is why it initially caught my eye. This area of practice is emerging today due to the baby boomer generation. The baby boomer generation is wanting to live in their own home as long as they can instead of having to be moved to assistive living. Because of this, home modifications are also a must and is included in the aging in place emerging area. I totally understand how people don't want to be moved out of the house they planned to live in when they retired and for the rest of their life too. This is what adds meaning to their life and increases their quality of life.
Vision 2025 states that it aims to maximize health and well-being. In order to better suit the elderly, we must assist them to their needs and help them live their life to the fullest performing the occupations they normally do. Vision 2025 also states that we must use effective solutions to achieve maximal health and well-being. An effective solution to still being able to live in your own home would be making home modifications to better suit that individual. I love this emerging area of practice and how much it looks at the client on an individual level to treating their own needs and desires.
