Question1
Way services are designed and older aged people are encouraged to actively participate
Society is changing and so is the way people are living as their lifestyle is mostly affected by
lot of political, social and ethical considerations taking place across various parts of the world
(Wondimu, 2017). One scheme must be designed in such a way that there must be government
fund created on which some financial contribution must be made by government and some by
the old aged person.
Positive factor:
One positive factors that is associated with this type of healthcare system is that it will
lead to older aged people contribution more towards such funds and nor becoming burden to
their families (Kim, 2016).
Negative factor:
One negative factor is that for many old aged people who have crossed a particular age it is
not at all easy to work at this stage of their lives (Ma, & Liang 2019, July). The whole lives they
have already present working and now in last days they must be given some option to relief. But
such schemes put a high pressure on them to earn and contribute their respective share.
Question 2
Model of health service delivery in aged care
There are various model of health service delivery in aged care that is used in order to
make aged people independent and participate in the society. One of the model is user- pays
model for aged care (Harris & White, (2018)). The user pay means that buyer beware with senior
services properly. This model allows for self-directed care that means people can choose how
they invest as well as spent their aged-care funding on the services. It also allow and support
aged people to live independently. Another aged-care reform involve in this model is related to
the requirement of people to do contribution for their own care & it means many individuals
require to manage and control their finances in order to ensure that they have adequately planned
for retirement (Sipilä, (Ed.). (2019)). It is determine that the government if Australia pays aged
people through program funding, subsidies, supplements and many more.
