Impact of Retirement Stages on Older Adults: SNPG956 Presentation

This presentation examines the stages of retirement, providing a detailed overview of the phases individuals experience as they transition from work life to retirement. The presentation starts with pre-retirement, focusing on planning and financial preparation, and moves through the honeymoon phase, early retirement, mid-retirement, and late retirement. Each stage is characterized by unique challenges and opportunities, from adjusting to a new lifestyle and building a new identity to dealing with potential health issues and loss of abilities. The presentation includes a case study of a 68-year-old man named Mark Spencer to illustrate the concepts, and the importance of early planning, social connectivity, and healthcare considerations are emphasized. The presentation aligns with the SNPG956 course requirements, focusing on the impact of retirement stages on older adults and implications for practice.
