“…Studies have found that baby boomers value selfdetermination, and desire to age in place while relying on community-based care. 14 A survey of baby boomers and older adults revealed differences between age cohorts with regard to planning for long term supports and services. More than 60% of baby boomers anticipated a need for community or facility-based long term care in the future.…”

Most people prefer to age in place. However, there is a growing body of literature to suggest a reluctance to accept supportive services in the home due to concerns about trust, privacy, cost, and fear of being a burden. The purpose of this study was to examine potential facilitators and barriers to accepting home care services in the website content of Licensed Home Care Service Agencies (LHSCA). In this linguistic analysis study, the written content from 88 randomly selected LHCSA websites was examined. We used LIWC2015 and Microsoft® Word software to analyze websites for relevant word categories that reflect older adult identified facilitators and barriers to the acceptance of home care services. Results revealed that the summary score for clout (i.e., confidence and leadership reflected in the writing) was high. Some of the most commonly used word categories were positive emotions, present focused, and affiliation. The word category money was included, but to a lesser degree. However, Burden and related words were highly prevalent in the writing sample. In summary, LHCSA website content contains both facilitators and barriers to the acceptance of home care services. Given the importance of home care services in promoting the ability of older adults to age in place, greater attention may be needed regarding the way services are presented and advertised to consumers.

The aging of the world is creating unique changes, specifically in resource management, health institutions, and social services. The need for gerontological social providers is increasing; however, student interest in working with older adults in social services is low. This lack of interest is correlated to negative stereotypes commonly displayed in media and propagated by culture. Additionally, ageist actions increase social isolation in older adults, which is associated with negative physical and mental health outcomes. Fortunately, positive exposure to older adults through experiential learning activities has demonstrated promise in decreasing students' ageist beliefs, thereby increasing their interest in working with older adults in the future. Furthermore, experiential learning activities decrease social isolation and increase feelings of importance and continued contribution for older adults. The chapter will discuss the use of a biopsychosocial assessment and intentional conversations between university students and older adults, the positive outcomes, and future implications.
