Research Question:
How to keep the elderly feeling independent?
THESIS STATEMENT
While assisted living can be a good option for those who need assistance with daily activities and tasks, there are several ways in which it could improve. Elders must remain independent to preserve their overall well-being. Independence such as fitnessclasses, youth mentoring, and gardening, promotes a sense of control, self-esteem, physical health, and social interaction for seniors. Many assisted living facilities have little to no consideration for autonomy among elders, but it does not have to be this way. by incorporating strategies that promote independence and physical well-being, elders will feel a stronger sense of community and peace of mind.
