Current
Situation
and
Challenges:
There can be no doubt that, as the elderly population increases, there is a need to provide alternative models of housing and health care.
 The elderly have become a vocal group, defining their needs and demanding their rights. New models of care, such as assisted living, allow elders to age in place, and nurses are called upon to adapt to the challenges of practice. Organizations need to be responsive to the changing needs of the elderly population, to alter the directive focus of their current practice to a more
assisted
model. Service providers must determine what changes need to take place to promote aging with maximum independence.
