This toolkit includes guidance and materials to use in four simulations related to caring for older adults. The simulations include: an introduction to aging and home health nursing assessment, hospital care of older adults with a fall and acute respiratory symptoms, interprofessional home health assessments, and interprofessional skilled inpatient rehabilitation of older adults. The purpose of this toolkit is to improve the confidence and competence in adapting care of older adults while increasing the exposure for nursing students to various healthcare settings such as long term care.
