Unit 4 Development through the life stages Explain two theories of ageing Disengagement- This is a theory where older people will withdraw from social contact with others. Older people will disengage because of reduced physical health and loss of social opportunities which would stop them being involved. The theory was thought of by professionals due to older people being less active which means less social opportunities. Activity theory- It has been disputed that older people need to disengage however they also need to remain active both physically and intellectually. It has been said that it is not sufficient to simply provide facilities for elderly people they need to be taught how to use them in order to change fixed habits.
Disadvantages for the service provider The disadvantage will be that we have to tolerate the life style choices of other people, because poor choices lead to poor outcomes.

keeping active is good for the body and its systems i.e. it maintains a healthy heart and good circulation. Losing this sense of independence can cause negative repercussions on a persons mental and physical health and well-being i.e. if a person is unable to do their own shopping or personal care. It may become necessary to seek help and employ someone to do this for them, and as a result physical and emotional health can soon decline when a person starts to lose their independence.
These negative feelings can also determine how well a person is feeling physically. Having self-esteem can have a positive effect on a person’s well-being. Bx Describe two attitudes or approaches which could promote the well-being of an individual using the service Listen to what the individual has to say. All people have feelings and thoughts and these should be taken into consideration. People have choices and encouraging them to make informed choices gives confidence to make the right decisions for them.

1.1 UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE AND BENEFITS OF RESPECTING AND SUPORTING OTHER PEOPLE AT WORK. Through respecting and supporting other colleagues, it will benefit both yourself and work colleagues. For instance, it will allow both parties to learn, improve and progress further with their understanding of the position. Working in a team environment means that you have the opportunity to get involved and contribute to those around you, thus improving the standard of work produced. This will be due to the learning involved from working with others.
• Learners setting ground rules which are less restrictive, more inclusive and more likely to be successful as it allow learners to take ownership and they are more likely to keep them. However, there is the possibility that these rules might contravene an organisation or institution guidelines which may be contrary to a learning environment. • Tutor and learners working together to establish ground rules which are agreeable to everyone. Learners are encouraged to contribute their own ideas which are negotiated and agreed upon by both the tutor and learners so each individual can take responsibility for their own actions. This process is more inclusive for learners of all abilities.
This can lead to lack of trust and lack of confidence. You could end up giving the wrong type of care as you could miss out important information which could then result in harm to a service user or colleague (or both). Aiii: Identify three ways of finding out the communication and language needs of an individual. For each method, describe how effective it is at establishing the needs of the individual.

As the disease progresses through the middle and later stages, a decline in walking , muscle strength and balance occurs. * Lack of physical exercise A lack of physical exercise can make all of the above a lot worse. The benefits of regular daily exercise is known to improve daily functioning and cognition. * Memory impairment As the disease progresses, it can be increasingly difficult to prevent people from falling, in part because of the cognitive decline that is happening. Even though we can continuously tell someone with dementia not to get up and walk about without assistance from a carer, because the memory is impaired, they may continually try to walk independently when it is not safe to do so.
The personality can also affect the way an individual communicates. For example, if a person is shy he/she may not want to speak clearly and may use a little bit of verbal communication.
