Assignment: Transitions and Aging

For this assignment you will write a paper in which you explore a common transition faced by older adults. This transition may relate to a health transition (e.g. illness), a transition in living environment (e.g., a move to an assisted living facility or a long-term care facility), or dying or death. The emphasis in this assignment is to examine how older adults face into a transition, including the psychosocial, existential, and family ramifications. For instance, you might choose to focus on grief and loss as a response to moving into a long-term care facility. Within this paper, you will examine how older adults experience this grief and loss, how family members respond, as well as existential issues that may arise from this transition (e.g., Who am I now that I am institutionalized?)

Assignment must:

be seven to eight pages in length; not to exceed eight, excluding title page, references, and appendices;

be typed, double-spaced, single-sided, with margins of 2.5 cm on all sides;

follow the style guidelines found in the 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual; and
