Aging in place is difficult for many seniors. Aging in place allows the elderly to receive services in one setting. Unfortunately, as in the case of Rose and Don, that was not practical. Please review the case of Rose and Don in the Summary Section of the Senior Housing topic in Chapter 7. Given the information provided in the case study and applying the chapter readings answer one of the following questions, depending on your birth month: Put the number of the question you are addressing in the subject line of your thread.

1. (January, June, September, November) Why would Don not have been appropriate for a nursing home at that time?
2. (February, April, July, October) If Don further deteriorates, will it have benefited this couple to be in the continuum care community model? Why or why not?
3. (March, May, August, December) What is the role of the assisted living staff versus the role of the nursing home staff in the post-acute care setting, as discussed in their respective chapters?
