My final project with Chesapeake Childcare Department was to create a grid to track the vendor visits by the Social Workers and to work with the workers on the training seminar. The vendor training seminar was a gear towards getting all the credentials up-to-date in our records and to have all the memorandum agreements signed, which are used to pay the vendors. The Department of Human Services service almost 36,000 residents each year. The people we serve are those who suffer hardship or who have been unable to participate fully in social and economic life of the community. We provide cash aid for people in need through a network of local, state, and federal assistance programs.
We have implemented picture references for the service user who is non verbal, so he can associate these pictures with places and behaviours etc. This is still a working progress, we have professionals involved in their communication needs, such as Speech and language therapists and we have needed to get DOLS in place for our service users who lack capacity to make a decision they need to make. We involve family and professionals in having an input into their communication. We display photos of their families and have picture folders for each service user to have so they have visual as well as verbal confirmation of visits, meetings etc. We talk regularly to our service users and encourage conversations and choice in all things within their
There has been another increase in improved medical practice as recently, bypass surgery and other similar developments have reduced heart disease and its related deaths by one third.

Also, the Clean Air Acts reduced pollution which impacted on the number of deaths. Other social changes which are more reasons for the decline
Community “Community is a locality – based entity, composed of systems of formal organizations reflecting society’s institutions, informal groups, and aggregates”. (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2012, pg. 398). There are varying definitions of the meaning of community. Those within a community usually share some type of common interest.
This broad definition of community health includes the dimensions of process, status, and structure. Assessing community health requires the collection of existing data, generation of missing data, and an analysis of the resulted compilation of data. The community is the client when the nursing effort is concentrated on the joint welfare of the population instead of just on the health of a single individual. The goal of population-centered healthcare is to accomplish helpful change intended to increase the benefit of the entire community as a collective whole. My impression of my participating family’s community and environment is extremely positive.
Community health offers services that protect and promote the health of its residents. What is more, community as a client is based on the assumption that community-nursing practice is community-oriented, seeking healthful change for the whole community (Ardys McNaughton Dunn, 1990). Additionally, allowing a group to pursue health changes for the benefit of the entire group and referring to the concept of community-wide groups of people as the focus of nursing services. Several factors could affect the health of a community. Poor housing conditions, lack of health care services, and lack of education could affect the health of a community.

With exposure and injury being the focus nationally, changes are beginning to occur to decrease the work related illness and injuries. The attempt to eliminate workplace hazards by changing designs in and around the workplace will result hopefully in success of healthy lifestyles (Healthy People, 2012). Obesity and nutrition are also being addressed within the community.
