SL 305 - Continuum of Senior Services

The leader in senior living, while not necessarily providing direct care personally, will oversee the provision of care to his/her clients.  Acting as a patient advocate, he/she will ensure that all needs are met through the development of relationships with other service providers.  Students will explore the issues faced when a necessary service is not provided locally, and the leader needs to evaluate adding a service line.
