Feeling extremely sad. We all need a Helen in our lives - as a colleague &/or friend! She always walked the walk in addition to talking the talk no matter how challenging or difficult the subject & she made the world a better place for people across the lifespan.

[Liz Lightfoot @Liz_Lightfoot]

Remembering Helen Kivnick. Helen brought joy to all she did, from creating theories of vital involvement in old age w/Erikson to Grammy-nominated folk albums. She was a brilliant scholar, a beloved mentor to dozens of students, and a great friend. #UMNSSW https://t.co/8iWnI7Wo9b

@Liz_Lightfoot Rosalie was all those things & more. She was an incredibly wise & generous mentor from the moment I arrived at #UMNSSW as an MSW student, throughout my PhD years, & countless moments since in my academic career.

What if we give it a try one day in the U.S.? 🤷‍♀️🙏

[Marilyn Luptak PhD @mkluptak]

Thx @sharon_inouye & @LouiseAronson for reinforcing that family caregivers are essential visitors for hospitalized older adults w dementia.

[Louise Aronson @LouiseAronson]

This bears repeating given an article in @sfchronicle today which very nicely covered #Hospital visit exceptions for kids, labor & delivery, & dying, but left out elders w/#Dementia who need visits just as much for comfort & more to avoid bad #medical outcomes @alzassociation

[Louise Aronson @LouiseAronson]

Symptom-based screening might not identify #coronavirus infections in independent & assisted living facility residents. So: 1) prevent transmission 2) look for atypical symptoms & 3) remember quality of life https://t.co/XCcE0USlwW via @CDCgov #COVID19 #geriatrics #caregiving

Wow! Thrilled to see this encouraging Science-based data on #MORE!

Wonderful resources for these troubled times!
