Think you can't travel if your caree has limited mobility? Maybe you can. This is how we did it.

Hint: home care agencies are everywhere, including where you want to travel!

It was daunting. "But when Dad asked Mom if she'd like to have a family reunion in Hawaii, her face lit up with a sunshine-bright smile ... That smile sealed my commitment." https://t.co/DROHWgnwrI

@leah_pierson Not just SNFs, but discharging home, too. Like others have said, maybe learning from home health, too. I wrote about hospital at home here... but you're touching on similar issues with this conversation. https://t.co/qoomeIn1qh

Forgive me if I'm a little nervous as I watch the popularity of hospital-at-home programs explode. I elaborate in this opinion piece for @NextAvenue.

Most families will need to find MULTIPLE sources of funding to support family members in need -- and every state is different. This Aidaly (@joinaidaly) resource for #caregivers is a great place to start.

[Aidaly @joinaidaly]

Caregivers, learn how you can get paid in your state with Aidaly's State by State compensation guide.

💡80% of family #caregivers don't even know they're eligible to get paid.

See how you can start earning for the caregiving you already do. 👇

@ProfWEpstein Super interesting. I've been thinking about it for weeks and just came back to review it again! I'm interested in applying this framing to prompt end-of-life planning.

"The conversation is really a series of intimate conversations, sharing what matters most, with someone who cares about us, casually, over time. And the right time to start those conversations is now."

National Family Caregivers month is a great time to reach out to friends who are #caregiving and let them know they're not "out of sight, out of mind". Plus, cards are 25% off!

In a writing class last night, a fellow student asked: "Care-GIVER and care-TAKER. Why aren't these opposites? Like, what am I not getting? Language can complicate #caregiving.

Does it help to know you're not alone, #caregivers and #caretakers. We see you. And thank you!

Not your final reminder: Do you have your "If I Died" document(s) in order?

Hear ye, hear ye! A proclamation worth reading...

"Family caregivers are the backbone of our Nation’s long-term care system, doing essential work with devotion, often at great emotional and financial cost. We owe them."

Read Karen Purze's blog about the importance of having conversations with those who matter most to you, having these conversations often, and starting them now. https://t.co/jfC6z7TspI

#caregiving is an employee health issue. Ask your employer what they're doing about it...and if you don't like their answer, send them this kit!

I recently wrote for @convoproject about how why I no longer believe I can express my care preferences in detail, in advance. Here's what I think we can all do instead...

What an incredible piece of work -- a first-of-its-kind strategy to support family caregivers. Lots to be done...but the framing is here:

As America ages, more and more people understand #hospice entrance criteria...but how many know about hospice disenrollment? Worth understanding (as is the interplay with and rise of PE-backed hospice.) Thanks for this one, @GeriPalBlog.

Incredible results, @IanaCare! "App use was significantly associated with decreasing the probability of doing most caregiving tasks alone by 9.1% points and increasing the probability of at least one person helping the primary caregiver by 8.0% points "
