I, therefore, believe that healthy aging is not a myth but something that can be achieved if only the health care systems acknowledge that there is a gap in providing culturally competent interventions to the aged. The opportunities for improving health care for the aged revolve around establishing policies that enrich the society, intergenerational training programs, and funds that support geriatric interventions. For the training programs, they should focus on enlightening the health professionals how to prioritize the elderly’s goals, functions, and quality of life (Aronson, 2015). This would help the professionals learn how to maintain close interpersonal relationships with the elderly patients.
