Best Practices in Managing Aging Service Programs
Thursdays, Sept. 17-Oct. 15, 2009 Noncredit fee: $149 This course will review "best practices" in the development, organization, and management of community-based aging service programs. Service opportunities exist across a broad continuum of care. Students will learn about such opportunities, as well as the market and philosophical forces (e.g., person-centered care) that influence programmatic structures. Case examples from adult daycare and care consultation will be reviewed and discussed. Students will integrate their learning through the development of a formal business plan. |
