Answer to Question 1
In addition to well-balanced meals and good medical care, designs should include
attention to physical well-being, physical concerns such as handrails, tacked down
carpeting, good lighting, and so forth. Equally important is an emphasis on privacy
and the maintenance of residents' cognitive and psychosocial skills, which can be
helped by encouraging residents to actively participate in their own care.
Answer to Question 2
The disengagement theory views aging as a voluntary progressive social
withdrawal. As adults age, they engage in less social interaction including interaction
with co-workers and adult children, preferring to avoid the bustles of life as they slow
down. The quality of life suffers as the elder becomes more passive. In contrast,
activity theory asserts that withdrawal is involuntary and that elders want and need
activity and social interaction. Rather than becoming passive, they desire to remain
active with family, friends, and the community. The quality of life either maintains or
improves with activity; research indicates that the more roles active elders have, the
greater their satisfaction and life quality.
