At this stage thephysiological function of body goes down (Matthews, F. E and et. al., 2013). In this report theinvestigator studies about gaining and later life from various books and journal and also collectsprimary data in order to evaluate the significant relationship between the services provided byhealth care sector to the ageing person in his later life.BACKGROUNDThis can be evidenced from the background study of ageing that this is having larger impacton the later life of individual.

In later life individual losses its1

hearing capability and eyesight also become weak. The person suffers from many diseases in oldage as his immune system is not functions appropriately. The physiological activities and alsophysical activities slows down with age and in later life faces problem in walking, standing andhandling heavy things accurately. So, the individual needs support from social care sector to livebetter and quality life in last period of his live. The person develops higher problems inbreathing, problems related with bones and muscles, lower heart rate, stiffed blood vessels whichleads to many suffering which needs proper treatment to live better life with ageing.This can be evidenced from the study of World Health Organization, (2015) that healthcare services largely support the individual lives in their later lives. The person needs assistanceto carry out daily task appropriately. The social care services provide emotional support to theold age person.

The research methodologyfollowed by researcher in evaluating the influence of ageing on later life of individual and thehealth care practices are as follows:Research DesignThe investigator can develop exploratory research design as well as the descriptiveresearch in order to carry out investigation related with the subject matter. The researcher isdeveloping descriptive research design in order to describe the subject matter in deep and comeup with appropriate findings (Taylor, Bogdan and DeVault, 2015). The exploratory research iscarried out tom find out new results for new research topic which is not earlier discuses orcarried out by the other finders.3

Research PhilosophyThe investigator can use interpretevism research or positivism research in his activityplan while conducting investigation (Liamputtong, 2013). The finder chooses to carry outinterpretevism research to interpret the collected data appropriately and come up with relevantfindings. While positivism research follow up a scientific approach to come up with new resultsrelated with the topic.Research TypeThe investigator can carry out both qualitative research type and quantitative researchtype depending upon the type of data collected.

The data related with this particularsubject matter is deducted from the different sources to come up with appropriate findings.Research StrategyThe questionnaire can be efficient strategy for carrying out effective research as this willhelps in collected the responses of the different candidates who are participating in survey(Smith, 2015). The questionnaire helps in collecting primary data for interpreting to accuratefindings.Research TechniquesThe researcher can develop thematic analysis by developing a specific theme or particularresponses of the participant as per the questions developed in questionnaire (Lakatos, 2014). Thiscan be useful in carrying out effective data analysis as per particular themes.4
