Social Determinants of Health
In aged care, when we are supporting older people we see effects on health from:
War experienceLack of health care when youngerLack of education and health literacySocial/economic disadvantageSocial change – family, neighbourhoods
Family life
Trends
Older people living longer and being more educated than previous generations
Families less able/available to provide support
With longer life comes increased capacity to contribute to home and community but also increased risk of Dementia and chronic disease
