paper

With aging comes physiological, functional,  and sensory changes. At times, this change can manifest as a loss.  Often, a loss of function may begin a so-called downward spiral in the  life of an elderly person, affecting his or her independence and quality  of life.

Imagine you are working  with a client who is helping her parents explore their long-term care  options. She has asked you to address the significance and validity of  the above statement.  

Write a 1,400- to  1,750-word response to your client that addresses the above statement.  Include how the specific loss of function might affect one or more  activities of daily living.

Use a minimum of 3 references to support your response.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.
