Area of Science:

Healthcare for aging populations
Intellectual and developmental disabilities
Nursing practice and education

Background:

Older adults with learning disabilities have complex health needs.
Healthcare professionals often lack knowledge and confidence in managing this demographic.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the increased healthcare needs of older patients with learning disabilities.
To identify barriers in providing adequate care to this population.
To propose strategies for improving nurse confidence and patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

Literature review on learning disabilities and geriatric care.
Analysis of common challenges faced by healthcare providers.
