Fall prevention is a great goal to stay focus on. Stay home, and out of the hospital. Keep meds organized and take as directed.
The @NCOAging states that every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. Mobility devices help seniors stay safe. Check out this guide to help you find the correct one for your aging loved one.

Willingness, yes! Thank you @CaregiveWarrior .
Weapon of the day: willingness. I don’t have to be there yet, I just have to be willing. Willingness keeps the door open for everything even if it scares us. #caregiverwarrior #caregiverwarriors #willingness #fridaymorning

I love this tool. So simple: You put one of each pill in it (so you can see the color & shape) & write down when to give it/what it's for. Anyone who fills the pillbox can use this guide to see exactly which medications go in each compartment of your loved one's pillbox. @PillMap
Finally, Simple, practical, affordable #medication management! Don't let a miscommunication of your #medications be your #medical challenge. Avoid unnecessary falls and medical #emergency
room visits. @BethSuereth

Let's stop viewing #healthcare as a location. Healthcare is not a hospital, clinic, office, #LTC facility. Healthcare should be a verb; an action of caring that sometimes uses these buildings. New models of care are needed that focus on action of caring, not buildings #CDNhealth
Thank you @BethSureth for sharing. If we can simplify medication management with simple tools, we can lower anxiety and live healthy!

The 1st #COVID19 related, but not "caused" death for our family. How are we quantifying these deaths? "Elective" surgery postponed due to covid & a sudden death. 50 YO, two small children. Lives forever changed because of covid, but the loss will not be not assigned to the virus.

Please do this: Find out what to do if someone in your home develops #coronavirus symptoms. Write it down. Put it out in the open. This is mine. I taped it to an envelope that has documents stating our wishes & who should speak for each of us if needed. #caregiving #NoRegret
