Bette Bass is an elderly woman who lives independently in her apartment but requires some assistance due to limited mobility and vision impairments. She receives weekly home visits from a nurse to manage her medications and health, and also gets help with grocery shopping and other services as needed. Homecare services allow patients to recover from illnesses or injuries at home rather than in the hospital, and aim to keep clients safe and independent for as long as possible. Medicare and insurance will cover homecare under certain conditions, such as if the patient requires skilled nursing and therapy with the goal of improving their condition.

The document discusses improving quality of care in nursing homes through adopting a resident-centered culture change approach. It outlines several models being used, including the Pioneer Network, HatCH Model, Eden Alternative, and Evergreen Model.

Statistics show that nursing homes which have fully adopted these culture change principles report that residents are more involved in decisions about their home and care. The overall goal is to move away from an institutional model towards one that focuses on residents' emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual wellbeing through relationships and meaningful engagement.

This document discusses how healthcare delivery needs to shift from an individual-focused approach to a population-based approach. It notes that most healthcare occurs outside of hospitals, with 80% of people visiting a GP each year. It also discusses how the global population is aging rapidly, with people over 60 soon outnumbering those under 15 and the proportion of older people rising significantly in New Zealand. This will greatly reduce support ratios and increase healthcare demands. The document suggests that health decisions will need to become more efficient and effective through increased use of online consultation, self-diagnosis, and inter-provider communication supported by sophisticated user-friendly IT.

From the Director:
All of us serving on the CVEC Board were gratified to begin our 14th academic year on September 19
with a record enrollment of 209 students. While our mission has never been merely to set new records,
we do feel happy with this endorsement of our curriculum, and believe this testifies to the variety, novelty,
and appeal of the courses being offered, as well as the abundant good will and friendliness of the students
and faculty. You may be assured we will remember these points in our future planning, which is com-
pleted for the winter term, and almost completed for spring.
It was particularly nice that the classroom we were hoping for in the Weitz Center opened as scheduled
on Sept. 20. The course chosen for this was Hartley Clark’s The Arab Revolt Against Misrule. It
quickly reached its quota of enrollment and the classroom lived up to its promise of state-of-the-art techni-
cal facilities. It was fitting that one of Carleton’s most noted faculty was willing to lead this course. I’m
sure I speak for all participants when I extend my personal gratitude to Carleton College for the use of this
space, and we are eager to continue this splendid example of sharing the college’s mission with our com-
munity.
On the subject of shared missions, we point with satisfaction to the program given at the Northfield
Senior Center on Oct. 21, when Prof. Ed Berkeley gave a seminar to a sizeable audience of local citizens
on the play under his direction, Shakespeare’s The Tempest. This seminar was jointly sponsored by the
Senior Center, the public library, and CVEC, who also sponsored a post-production seminar by Ruth
Weiner of the Carleton theatre department. We are now hoping to offer a film festival at the Weitz Center
in the not-too-distant future, to show our membership a truly modern and comfortable cinema theatre in
action. Please join us on these shared journeys, and offer your suggestions for others that appeal to YOU.
