Overview: |
| This
course propels your journey into the dynamic and rewarding field of aging, the fastest
growing segment of our world population. Join us as we become effective facilitators in
enriching the lives of older adults in senior centers, retirement communities, adult day
centers, assisted living facilities, or nursing homes. Sharpen your interpersonal,
communication, and organizational skills, while exploring the framework of the long-term
care environment to enable older adults to find purpose and meaning in their lives.
And enrich your own life in the process! This course will involve weekly field assignments in
addition to three (3) hours of classroom instruction.
No textbook is required. |
