Health Education for the Elderly

چکیده
Health promotion and wellness are a great responsibility, particularly for all health care providers who work with elderly people. Some health care providers claim that because of their age, activities pertaining to prophylactic measures, health and wellness maintenance will not be helpful to elderly people. On the contrary, wellbeing should not be regarded as a concept specifically relevant to younger individuals. The wellness concept is applicable to every age from older adults to the young (Reicherter & Greene, 2005; Tabloski, 2010).
