Aged care, Quality of Life and Bryan’s Case: A Strategic Analysis
Introduction
    There is a widespread need to improve the standard of long-term care for older people, with rising life expectancy and increasing numbers of older people using residential aged care. The customer viewpoint, particularly the achievement of an optimum quality of life, is one facet of the quality of care that is strongly advocated (Reilly, Courtney & Edwards, 2017). Yet, in spite of the abundance of quality of life interventions, those with utility are very limited in the world of residential aged care. In the context of the provided case study of Bryan, there is a lack of social participation on active level which increases the ba
iers to lead quality of life. His engagement with other residents in the aged care facility has been improved in the past some time, however, there are still some areas in which, the work needs to be done to alleviate his depressive condition.
Cu
ent Level of Participation
    At first, it is significant to note here that by far, Bryan lives in the residential care facility with his own social isolation. As per the observation of the video, the aged care facility residents can live up to 20 hours a day in their rooms—which are showcased by Bryan in his behavioral approach. in spite of the fact that he holds precise knowledge of the photography, he is still in the situation where he is not fully ‘opened up’ to the discussions. For example, when Tyrone tried to attend him by drawing his attention to the drawing he could make, Bryan does not show inclination to do gardening stuff and also, he keeps mostly silent during this meeting. His social isolation is still the biggest obstacle in the process of leveling down his depression. Also, he seems to have developed the thinking that walker is a part of his existence in the facility and for gardening, it is necessary to provide physical support to him. Therefore; it will not be possible for him to hold longer in the various activities in the garden. These are some of the setbacks which are implied in his behavior and they justify that the quality of care is not achieved.
Specific Interests
    There are couples of behavioral outcomes of Bryan that lead to structure his interest and will assist in shaping improved social activities. The first one is precisely observed in his interest in photography. He claims that when he was young, he travelled to Egypt and liked the photos that he could take over there. Thus, it can be infe
ed here that he has been fond of taking photos and it can be one of the activities that can shape his interests to be involved in social activities at the aged care facility.
    The above can be justified by the notion that Elderly care facility residents tend to be far more vulnerable than the general population and live in a distinctly different climate. The majority of available quality of life metrics either do not measure issues...
