C SERVICE LEARNING Assignment ndash INTERVIEW with assigned older adult This project is the service-learning component of the course requirement Students will partner with another classmate and be assigned to the assisted living community (listed below) to complete the required service learning assignment All students must complete the online service learning orientation at wwwcsusCEConnect -Before meeting their elder partners In addition a cleared 2 step TB test and HIPPA completion on Castlebranch is required to be enrolled in this class The Rivers Edge or the Chateau at Rivers Edge 641 Feature Dr Sacramento CA 95825 916-921-1970
As part of the classroom participation requirement students will be involved in actual interviews and interactions with an assigned older adult to facilitate learning and discussion Students will be assigned to an older adult resident to interview and begin to implement the care management model During the semester all students will complete the service-learning requirement for a minimum of 20 hours at the community with the older adult to whom they are assigned as their semester partner

Using the SRG Zest Healthy Living Workbook each student will design a holistic plan that reflects the desires of their senior partner The final paper will be a compilation of the care management process following the schematic model of intervention
The students will also have the opportunity to volunteer for scheduled activities and a 2 required special events in the community (upon prior approval from the Professor and announced in class TBD)
Classroom discussion with students will discuss appropriate updates share triumphs or concerns that may have arisen in the implementation of the stated goalspriorities with their assigned partner An assessment of needs and priorities in the holistic plan will be reviewed as it relates to the care management experience
The use of the clientrsquos strengths and an overall evaluation will be required as it relates to the content of the class Strict adherence to confidentiality and ethical principles and standards of practice are mandatory
Reflective Learner- Journal Assignment As a student service learner the student combines meaningful community service and in class learning through a process of structured reflections The Journal provides for personal reflection and a learning tool related to the service The entry should be written from the point of view of the service learner and the service-learning recipient All entries and experiences are confidential and the privacy of the individuals must be strictly adhered to and respected A false name of the studentrsquos partner is required for the journal and term paper To learn by experience requires a thoughtful reflection about the experience This tool can assist in analysis and synthesis of readings and feelings about the older adult and your interaction To be most effective the journal is NOT meant to be a log of events but rather a means to complete the following 1) An analysis of the activities the student and partner are accomplished
