During our visit to @CHRHorgAU last week we heard how the team at Creswick and Kyneton have been assessing and acting on What matters to older people in their service, and how this is integrating with Mobility, Mind and Medication #4Ms #AgeFriendlyCare @SaferCareVic @TheIHI

On International day of Older Persons, Ralph's family wants us to ask older people, what matters to you? What mattered to Ralph was his family, the outdoors, sharing a joke and socialising. #AgeFriendly care improves lives! @UnitedNations #4Ms

Today's the International day of older persons. Older people are experts on themselves so ask them, what matters to you? When Lester was asked what matters, he finally started recovering from an illness that had stopped him in his tracks. #4Ms #AgeFriendly https://t.co/AXYjx92ela

This week's #DementiaActionWeek. Screening for and managing dementia in care settings is important for early diagnosis and quicker access to support. MIND is one of the #4Ms we’re working on in our #AgeFriendly partnership with Vic health services. https://t.co/AXYjx9jPcI

Dear Prof Sutton @VictorianCHO,

How are you?

I’m thinking about you and the burden you carry for the health of Victorians.

Thank you for your kindness and expertise. You have been a picture of stability and integrity throughout this pandemic. Thank you.

Tomorrow is RUOK day.
I wrote this piece several years ago and I advise everyone to read it before you ask people if they are okay tomorrow.
For me, I'm having lunch with a friend (zoom) who dreads the day because she will crumble if asked RUOK?

The 4Ms approach developed for the Age-Friendly Health System model — what matters, medication, mentation, mobility — has a robust evidence base for providing quality care to older adults. @KedarMate
