Question 1
There are certain community based services that are designed for helping out elderly
people to remain safely in their homes by arranging resources for the older adults. The resources
can include nutritional assessment and supports, educational programs, wellness programs,
counselling services, home support care, disability care services as well as normal assistance
with home safety or finances (Siegler et al., 2015). These community based services also
provides the scopes for the community and civic association by different volunteer programs.
These programs can increase the skills and the attitudes of older persons for gaining confidence
and control over their own life (Siegler et al., 2015). Some of the disadvantages of using such
community services involves breaching of the privacy and confidentiality or getting
compromised care due to crowding of a large number of care receivers, so it can become for the
care receivers to manage crowds or can face with shortage of resources (Siegler et al., 2015).
Question 2
A people centered model for health delivery for the aged care ensures all people have
access to health service which will be coordinated around their needs, would be as per their
preferences and are safe , effective , affordable, timely and are of acceptable quality. One of the
important aspect of this type of care is they are of the highest possible standards. The people
centered approach is needed for strengthening the capacity of the health actors, institutions and
populations for effectively responding to the public health crisis (Kogan, Wilber & Mosqueda,
2016). People centered care shifts the focus away from the traditional biomedical model in favor
of embracing the personal choice and autonomy for people receiving the health care services.
PCC services has been interpreted into a varieties of practice conditions, including long term
supports, services, palliative care for elderly patients (Kogan, Wilber & Mosqueda, 2016).

Question 3
People centered care normally swings focus away from outmoded biomedical model in
favor of accepting personal choice and autonomy for consumers of health care facilities. As older
adults are more vulnerable than the younger individuals to get complex care requirements.
affecting the daily living, this population is a priority group of the target to receive benefits of
primary care services. PCC models have been developed in sectors like palliative care, dementia
care and rehabilitation care, a tremendous gap in care is there in practice and outpatient care
services. Organizations can be supportive or obstructive of person centered care for achieving a
people-centered care. According to a people centered model of care, health care professionals
should address the support needs of the clients suffering with intellectual disabilities for
establishing a co-creation of care. Every a staff member should ask themselves about the type of
support they had been offering is what a client yearns for (van der Meer eta l., 2018). A people
centered care also supports coordination of care and safe guarding the continuity of care, playing
an important role in the wellbeing of the elderly people. The provision of a people-centered care
should also involve coordination of care (van der Meer eta l., 2018).
Several barriers to provided or establish a patient centered care have been pointed out by
Budgen and Cantiello, (2017) is regarding the experience of the physicians, who often complain,
that it can be time consuming and they might lose money. The primary care physicians are
unable to spend any extra time and efforts required to establish an engaging and well integrated
“medical home” with special and coordinated care for every patients, especially considering that
the extra time takes away from the financial incentive of seeing and attending more patients.
