H&SC Later Adulthood Project

A series of lessons spanning 6 weeks.
I use this for the last half term of year 9 prior to students choosing their options

Scenario: You have been asked to produce a portfolio to stakeholders who are looking to build a state-of-the-art residential home based on research in the local area.
For your portfolio, you need to do the following:

1. Explain the growth and development of individuals’ in later adulthood. (INTERVIEW).
2. Design a residential home with various rooms and facilities suitable for service users.
3. Produce a written justification for how the facilities are appropriate for service users. (REPORT BASED)
4. Create job descriptions for the jobs available in the residential home. (DOCUMENTARY WITH WORKSHEET, CAREER QUIZ AND TEMPLATES)
5. Design a care plan for a service user who has specific needs. (TEMPLATE AND CASE STUDIES PROVIDED)
6. Justify how the care home and care plan is focused on person-centred care. (REPORT BASED but with teacher input)

During this project, I also liaised with a dementia friend ambassador who delivered training to students so they could become a dementia friend.
