So many grandparents have helped raise and take care of their grandchildren. Let’s repay the favor and take good care of our grandparents and elders during the pandemic. @MalakaGharib @npr @FilAmPsych

No kidding. #Ageism so mindless and pervasive they don't even want to sell us stuff. 😂

Words matter! @KarlPillemer #COVID #aging @borrowmyglasses

[Karl Pillemer @KarlPillemer]

In all the good work about #COVID and #aging, let's all note that "the elderly" is considered an #ageist term (I see "elderly" a lot on Twitter.) As the Gerontological Society tells us: "“older adult,” “older persons,” or “older people” are the terms to use.

@nilerodgers You so eloquently communicate and connect with your Mom and Aunt through the language of music❣️ Music is such a powerful language for people living with dementia. @alzassociation #ENDALZ @borrowmyglasses

[Nile Rodgers @nilerodgers]

In honor of World #Beatles Day I recorded #HeyJude to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s disease which disproportionately impacts the black community @alzassociation #ENDALZ

Family caregivers are still involved if their person enters senior living or a nursing facility, their role does not end.

[Lynn Friss Feinberg @FeinbergLynn]

“Their experiences illustrate an important but unappreciated truth about American nursing homes: Family members provide a significant amount of care for many residents. Nursing homes rely on them.” https://t.co/pTzGgwqhkA

@borrowmyglasses will be talking about this with healthcare professionals in a new workshop called Valuing #AgeDiversity in the #Workforce. How can words convey or combat #ageism and how can #AgeDiversity benefit the workplace? @StriaNews

[Ashton Applewhite @thischairrocks]

"What would happen if instead we took words like old and elderly back and used them in a way that conveyed desirability and value?" asks @TLGendron in @jeanette_leardi's latest article for @StriaNews. Good question. #ExposeAgeism
