Module 1 Assignment 2: Community Resources

Instructions: Identify three resources within your community that relate to the aging, disabled, or chronically ill population. All sections must be completed in complete sentences. Provide a reference page to show where you located the data. If services are minimal, expand your search to the county or nearest city as appropriate. You may only use each facility/organization/entity under one heading. If they offer more than one type of service, that is fine, but you can only count it for one. You must include three unique organizations.

Resource #1 (Physical need)

Resource #2 (Psychosocial need)

Resource #3 (Transportation or entertainment need)

For each resource:

- Name of the agency/resource

- Contact information: Address, phone number, website

- Is this a public or private agency?

- What services are provided by this agency?

- Who is eligible for services?

- Are there any exclusions for services?

- What are the costs for services?

- Is there a sliding scale payment plan?

- What outside sources provide funding for this agency?

- Name at least three important details that you learned about this agency.

- Would you recommend this agency to a patient? Why or why not?

Paper For Above Instructions

Recommendation: Yes, particularly for patients with limited mobility who would otherwise miss appointments or social opportunities; coordination with care teams improves adherence and overall well-being (ACL, 2021; NCOA, 2022).

In-text citations and sources used to structure this example emphasize the importance of integrated community resources. For instance, aging-in-place policies advocate for accessible housing, transportation, and health services that are coordinated through local agencies (NIA, 2023; WHO, 2015). Psychosocial interventions for older adults with chronic illness show benefits in reducing loneliness and improving mental health, supported by guidelines from SAMHSA and NIMH (SAMHSA, 2021; NIMH, 2022). The role of transportation and recreation in maintaining independence is evident in public health literature that links mobility to healthcare utilization and social participation (CDC, 2023; AARP, 2020).
