The main focus of the report is on preparation for hideaway for the older person as wellhead as the specific services that ar avail satisfactory to older peck much(prenominal) as lifelong learning, education and leisure.INTRODUCTIONAs olive-sized as 10 bunk of instructions ago if you asked a 25 grade old if they sport a plan for loneliness they would probably reply with no, loneliness is for old good deal Im only 25. The reality is that we should be planning for retirement from the first day we commence work. With Irelands increasing strength in the workforce and our impending poetry of people retiring within the next 30 years it has grow a national standard to introduce schemes for people to plan their retirement. In the past people who never even thought of retirement until the year it was upon them consecr ate had very negative effects. In golf club to soften the volte-face from being active workers with a routine, a purpose, personal connections and a affectionate sense of self- charge trying to f all told into the category of a permanent pass seems great at first but as time passes by the holiday feeling ends and the empty useless feeling sets in. This in play leads to numerous personal problems such as, financial, social, and physical and wellness. (Businessworld.ie, 2015), (ncaop.ie,2014), (cso.ie,2014).In the past carers preponderantly come in contact with retirees who are no longer working as they cause either retired ascrib qualified to ill health or live with retired unprepared and unable to psychologically cope with the situation and have failed in some way to care for themselves. To this end the carers maturency is to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team including family members of the retiree to up deal them with their activities of daily living in their home or in a care home setting. Carers of people in their home have establish that they have become a major post in more(prenominal) ways than one guiding guests with various options in order to alleviate drop-off such as information on sexual unioning groups for retired people to organising their will. Carers are right off able to support and promote a more positive attitude to retirement with the help of organisations such as The Pensions Authority, Active Retirement Ireland, Citizens Information and the Retirement Planning Council and Age pull through Ireland to name but a few. Irish people raft instantaneously be completely prepared for retirement from the day they start work. These organisations have opened a whole new world of opportunities for retired people loose them access to copious amounts of information that will service their needs such as Age Action Ireland who will meet individuals and groups who wish to slide by their education through the Lifelong Learning Programme in Colleges and Universities and the topical anesthetic Active Retirement Groups who hold regular meetings for members so they can socially interact and support each early(a) through various activities which embroil sporting activities, outings, foreign travel and educational courses and interaction programmes which are brave in conjunction with local youth groups and schools. These organisations have helped to remove the age old stigma attached to retirement and converted it to be now seen as life experienced people helping future generations which in turn allows young people to be mentored by retirees and they generally no longer see them as old removing the age barrier. (ncaop.ie,2014),The Health inspection and repair Executive provides m any supports for older people such as primeval Care, Social Workers and Home Care. Other non-governmental bodies also provide health forward motion for older people ie, local leisure centres, G.A.A, ICA, Macra Na Feirm e and Charity and willing bodies. The Primary Care team provide many services for older people from health screening to occupational therapy and chiropody both in a clients home and at local health care centres. Older people are encouraged by family members, carers and aesculapian examination staff to attend the centres as they not only provide staple fiber healthcare facilities and counselling but also a point of support and encouragement for those who may be fearful of seeking further medical attention or may not realise that they need service with their activities of daily living.There are also many therapeutic interventions such as cognitive behaviour therapy which has proven to help alleviate low gear and anxiety in older people which in turn enables retirees to fail cope with their current situation. Pre-retirement courses are also an excellent way for people to be prepared for their retirement through their courses people have all the necessary available tools and in formation to retire with very little strive and have connections made with groups and associations that can enhance their quality of life after employment. (Beck and Beck, 2011)The change in the make-up of the Irish population has had an immense tint on our views of retirement and how older adults are treated. Various other cultures hold their elders in the highest regard and are rewarded for a lifetime of work their families draw back over caring for them and they continue their retirement in comfort well-educated that all their needs are completely taken care of. It is the warp of cultures such as these that Ireland has now began to adapt its views towards retirement and older adults enable people to have a more positive feeling towards retirement rather than fear of loneliness and desperation. (Aranda and Knight, 1997)Some people retire onwards the national age for retirement of 65 not only due to illness but because they may feel they are financially shelter enough to giv e up work or reduce their hours of work through a phased retirement scheme with their current employer. These people noneffervescent want to be active members of their family and community and as such families should be encouraged to help them with their decisions and help to keep them from becoming depressed through allowing them to help with their lives ie child-minding, arranging family outings and holidays, giving advice to them on financial and other dilemmas this will help to keep a retirees sense of self worth which will prevent illness and depression. For people who have retired as they are over the age limit families can help support them in their new lives, visiting them often, encouraging them to join groups and associations and if they are not able to travel to the group meetings or outings etc, organise travel for them ensuring they are able to attend the meetings etc. If they are a member of an association, families should attend any shows or activities that they are involved in and express an interest in what they are doing. Younger family members should also be encouraged to accompany them on outings and also help them with chores around the house and do odd jobs for them. This helps with feelings of depression and loneliness as older adults will chat away to young people telling them stories and advising them on various aspects of their lives.CONCLUSIONBefore offset this assignment I did not consider that I will be retiring one day and did not realise the effects it can have on my life both psychologically and physically. Through the course of my explore I have found that many people who have not been prepared for retirement have a lower mortality rate that people who have a fully operational retirement plan. I am going to make sure I am fully prepared for retirement and during my interviews with members of the various local groups around Mountmellick and Portlaoise I have a good understanding of the groups I would like to join and c urrently become active in with.There is a huge variety of information available to people who wish to prepare for retirement and who are currently retired and I now feel as a carer I will be able to help my clients with their needs and have a good understanding of the processes involved in post-employment life to be able to support them with their needs and wishes.BIBLIOGRAPHYhttp//www.apa.org/pi/aging/resources/guides/psychotherapy.aspxhttp//www.irishtraining.ie/general/preparing_for_your_retirement.htmlhttp//www.ncaop.ie/publications/research/reports/94_AFS_Conf_Procs.pdfhttp//gerontologist.oxfordjournals.org/content/37/3/342.shorthttp//www.thehealthwell.info/node/10467?source=relatedblockcontent=resourcemember=416catalogue=nonecollection=nonetokens_complete=truehttp//www.laois.ie/YourCouncil/Publications/CommunityampEnterprise/FileDownload,1877,en.pdfhttp//www.ncaop.ie/publications/research/reports/67_OP_Prefs_Emp_Ret.pdfhttp//www.ageandopportunity.ie/https//books.google.ie/book s?id=RdmZAgAAQBAJpg=PA31lpg=PA31dq=care+of+the+confused+client+assignmentsource=blots=i_PM5i6OxWsig=uHvkwWPwpJgfTXCQmJuwuul10Zwhl=ensa=Xei=ubOiVPC9JvGt7Abi84CQDwved=0CDIQ6AEwBDgKv=onepageq=care of the confused client assignmentf=falsehttp//gerontologist.oxfordjournals.org/content/37/3/342.full.pdfhttp//www.annalsoflongtermcare.com/article/4786http//consultgerirn.org/topics/ethnogeriatrics_and_cultural_competence_for_nursing_practice/want_to_know_morehttp//www.adultmeducation.com/socialandeconomicfactors_4.htmlhttp//www.activeirl.ie/http//www.hse.ieREFERENCESBOOKSBeck, J. and Beck, J.
