Persons with #dementia are more frequently hospitalized and often experience behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Dementia-focused medical units are an innovative strategy that requires further investigation. https://t.co/l4PgfZ8M7h

Thrilled to share the official press release for the Northwell Institute for Healthy Aging! @MCarneyMD @NorthwellHealth

[Northwell Health @NorthwellHealth]

Northwell announced the launch of the Institute for Healthy Aging, a systemwide initiative designed to transform how healthcare is delivered as people age.

The health system’s 28 hospitals, physician practices, outpatient programs, research facilities and community programs will be unified under a single mission: to help adults and their loved ones not just manage illness but prevent it — preserving health, independence and quality of life across the aging journey.

1 in 4 home health aides report burnout.
1 in 4 face racism.
1 in 4 experience violence.

And still—87% are proud of the work they do.

They show up every day to care for our loved ones. We need to show up for them.

Thickened Liquids for Older Adults is Likely a Useless Therapy, but a Current Study Cannot Prove It. https://t.co/Pd5eWNF3G7 Thank you #sensiblemedicine for the nice article @FeinsteinIMR @NorthwellHealth @nytimes @JAMAInternalMed

In hospitalized patients with Alzheimer disease and related dementias and oropharyngeal dysphagia, no difference seen in mortality rates between patients receiving thick vs thin liquids. https://t.co/jKq9oueBSa

[Eric Widera, MD @EWidera]

Dementia is littered with interventions like thickened liquids & PEG tubes that became standard of practice on theoretical benefits without clinical evidence. My editorial in @JAMAInternalMed gives 3 recs to consider if thinking about thickened liquids
