home and often require long term care or nursing home admission. The ability to
identify risk factors, assessment and evidence-based intervention strategies are
key to effectively serving a consumer with high risk.

Ethics in HCBS: You Don't Have To Shout!
Much of what is commonly believed about older adults is rooted in ageism and stereotyping.
Describing an older woman as a “sweet little old lady” for example, may seem complimentary
or kind, but it inspires images of frailty and dependence rather that visions of
a person with a rich history and full life. It also implies that all women are sweet
and little.
Too often, stereotypical and ageist beliefs lead to comments and behaviors that
are offensive to an older person. With Baby Boomers ready to flood the market, professionals
in all fields can benefit from a better understanding of the aging process.
