Don't just copy stuff off of the net, that's plagiarism. (Unless you cite properly.) You should have researched before leaving it to Answers to solve your homework the day before it's due in.

Call an assisted living center near your home and ask to talk with an Administrator or nurse there.
You really need more time to do the essay right and there are many websites you can look at. webmd.com (search for geriatric diseases); ask.com (search Eldercare); you will probably get a ton of websites off of ask.com..
I would urge you to look in the yellow pages for a geriatric physician and call them. Ask the receptionist if they have any brochures or magazines you could borrow for background for your paper.
A word of advice: Next time don't wait till the last minute! You are doing the topic a great disservice and not putting much effort into it if you don't take the time necessary to research it thoroughly... so what do you expect to get as a grade out of it?!?!?

At the end of the day why should anyone help you. You will have had plenty of tuition and notice regarding the assignment, it's just laziness doing it the night before. Get yourself down to a library and hit the books, reference them properly with a bibliography and hope for the best . Good luck.

I'd love to help. I'm a retired teacher and I'm classed now as disabled.
But I don't see how I can. I don't know you or where you are or your e-mail details.
Sorry
