This project seeks to comprehensively examine pain management among elderly people in low socioeconomic areas like Dover, Delaware, where the challenges are very high due to a lack of education and other resources. The study targets older adults aged 60 and above; it aims to bring out some of the significant hurdles the population faces in accessing healthcare services. Financial restraints that prevent the elderly from having health insurance and different Medicaid benefits from state to state are some of the complex problems that seniors have to deal with, and that affect their pain management process. Additionally, the paper will examine the healthcare policies directed at these concerns, including disease management and prevention efforts. By highlighting the seriousness of the challenges that struggling seniors in these regions face, we aim to emphasise the importance of timely intervention and a support network to alleviate their suffering and improve their quality of life. To achieve this, we will use relevant data and statistics to support our arguments.

[...] This will be achieved through a comprehensive plan congruent with the proposed 3 SMART goals and interventions. The first step includes sensitization of elderly individuals and their caregivers by giving workshops in community-specific locations. Healthcare professionals will lead the sessions and will concentrate on learning about the positive points and necessities of alternative pain relief methods such as physical therapy, acupuncture, and non-opioid medicine; the healthcare provider training programs will be set up to improve the local providers' knowledge and skills in geriatric pain management, safe opioid prescription, and non-pharmaceutical interventions.

[...] Continually, the healthcare provider training programs will be set up to improve the local providers' knowledge and skills in geriatric pain management, safe opioid prescription, and non-pharmaceutical interventions. These programs are run with the help of our local healthcare agencies and universities, and we use research-based practices in their implementation. X. Evaluation of the health promotion plan A mixed-methods approach will be employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the health promotion plan in improving pain management among elderly residents of Dover, Delaware.

[...] Being a reliable representative in the healthcare field, nurses can create a rapport with the community, and they can be influencers in promoting a healthier way of pain treatment and reducing opioid abuse in elderly residents. In this manner, through patient care, personal development, and community involvement, the nurses can decisively contribute to reaching the SMART goals for developing pain management programs for the elderly. VII. Interventions to Accomplish SMART Goals - Intervention Non-opioid pain management workshops The first SMART goal is to promote the availability of pain relief techniques which are not opioid-based.
