"Thank you for this education. It has really impacted my practice. The education revealed to me that I am very much task-oriented in the care I provide, and I have lost sight of the caregiver. I am now more intentional to include the caregiver in care planning."

Labour Day weekend. Which doesn’t change much for #Caregivers except they may have more on their plates if some services are not available. Today we recognize the unpaid labour of #Caregivers everywhere who have the enormous responsibility of caring for others❤️🫂❤️

Now, @cm_jasmine and @Krockdoc how do we prevent and rehab people with social vulnerability and frailty?
Perhaps #Socialprescribing? @Bethmansell1 @UnitedWayCgy https://t.co/b2P3Ovz7JM

[FamilyCaregivers @FamilyCarersAB]

Perhaps ensuring that caregivers have access to respite so marriages are not strained by intensive caregiving @drbarryjjacobs? Back in 2014, 4 Alberta doctors recommended respite https://t.co/kuZaZJqDMD Now 10 years later???

[FamilyCaregivers @FamilyCarersAB]

Yes! We need to take a collective impact approach to supporting family caregivers! See Towards a universal model of family centered care: a scoping review https://t.co/1kATGXFajN

At webinar on Primary Care during the Alberta Provincial Election, I asked if family caregivers would be included in primary care. The answer: "This is not the time."
My question, "If not now, when are we going to recognize family caregivers in primary care, in all healthcare?"

[MaggieK 🇨🇦 @MaggieKeresteci]

When you are a #caregiver the role is often 24/7. When you are a caregiver & then become a patient, that 24/7 job becomes untenable. Canada does not have the supports necessary to fill this gap. We desperately need a robust caregiver strategy & #LongCOVID has made the need urgent

[FamilyCaregivers @FamilyCarersAB]

Thanks, @GerryKupfersch1 for the excellent post. The key point: #Essentialfamilycaregivers are unrecognized in legislation. Without recognition, they are not considered in planning and outcome measurement.
