LESSON OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to: Explain three ways the aging process affects the human body, Name two myths about aging, and Explain two ways to encourage, support, and care for aging patients. OVERVIEW The world population is aging. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the United States is on the brink of a longevity revolution. Today there are 37 million people in the United States who are 65 years or older. That number represents 13 percent of the current population and it's expected to grow to 80 million people by 2050. Today there are five million Americans older than 85; by 2050 there will be 20 million. Important questions face the healthcare industry. Who are these old people? Are they sick and disabled? Or are they relatively healthy as they age? These questions have important ramifications for homecare agencies.In order to provide aging patients the best care and the best outcomes possible, homecare aides must know the difference between reality and stereotypes. This in-service lesson looks at some of the myths of aging and talks about how home health aides can better care for their patients by understanding the aging process.

This lesson on Elder Abuse includes a complete training packet. Each in-service packet takes approximately one hour to complete and fully meets the Medicare in-service training requirements. As aides need training, you can make as many copies as you want - there's no restriction when used with aides assigned from your office location. Remember that Home Health Aides must have 12 hours of in-service training every year. LESSON OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to: * Define elder abuse * List three types of elder abuse * Describe four signs and symptoms of elder abuse * Name two factors that may contribute to elder abuse * Describe the role of the home health aide as it relates to elder abuse recognition and reporting LESSON OVERVIEW Elder abuse in domestic settings is an increasing problem. While the true incidence of elder abuse is unknown, hundreds of thousands of elderly adults are abused each year in the United States. Reports of elder abuse to Adult Protective Services agencies increased 150% between 1986 and 1996. The problem of elder abuse is so widespread that in most states certain professionals are required by law to report cases of domestic elder abuse. The greatest reporting of elder abuse comes from health care providers. Because home health aides typically spend more time with the frail elderly patient, they may observe signs of elder abuse that are not evident to other providers. Their observations and reports to professionals can be instrumental in triggering investigations and providing help to these patients.

LESSON OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to: Describe two examples of professional workplace behavior Identify three characteristics of acting professionally Explain two ways to treat patients professionally OVERVIEW Professional behavior in the workplace can be difficult to define. Professionalism means different things to different people and can vary from agency to agency. It is something that isn't formally taught and is often left up to the home health aide to figure out. Further, behavior that some patients may find perfectly acceptable may offend others. It is therefore important that home health aides know what actions make up professional behavior and put those into practice. Home health aides must be aware of the agency's standards and there must be proof that aides follow them. The agency's reputation, and the health and safety of patients, depend on this knowledge and practice. This aide in-service outlines professional behavior and will serve as a guideline to training the home health aide on professionalism.
