Andrew Hutchinson+FollowWho Knew Aging Plans Were So Flexible? 🤔Hey, did you hear about this study on seniors changing their aging plans? Turns out, nearly half of the older folks surveyed switched up their decisions about staying at home versus moving to care facilities. The big reasons? Personal health changes, social influences, and sometimes just denying they need to change at all. It's wild how important open conversations are for figuring all this out! Keep chatting with your fam—things aren’t as set in stone as we thought. #AgingInPlace #FamilyTalks #SeniorCare #Health40Share
edwardspeter+FollowLet's Talk Aging in Place & Care Needs!Did you know? By 2034, there will be more Americans over 65 than under 18. A recent study by Johns Hopkins highlights the urgent need to expand long-term care services so older adults can age comfortably at home. Without significant changes, many might struggle to stay independent. From costly services to a shortage of caregivers, the challenges are plenty. But with improved infrastructure and support, aging in place can become a reality. Let's push for better policies and support systems! 💪🏡 #AgingInPlace #LongTermCare #SeniorSupport #HealthcareReform #Health40Share
Jennifer Russell+FollowIs this a secret panic button for older folks?Saw people discussing it online. My wife's 91-year-old grandmother lives with my in-laws, and they have these buttons placed really low to the floor, right by her bed and in the bathroom. When you press them, they make a sound kind of like a doorbell. It's actually a pretty smart idea that helps keep her safe. However the one thing I don't understand is why the button in the picture is inside a cabinet. That seems so inconvenient. #ElderCare #HomeSafety #AgingInPlace #FamilyCare #SmartHome #HelpfulIdeas #HomeDecor 21Share
Dana David+FollowHow On Lok Is Changing Elder CareDid you know there’s a program in SF that helps aging immigrants stay out of nursing homes—and actually thrive? On Lok’s PACE program covers almost everything for seniors, from home-cooked meals to Cantonese-speaking caregivers, all paid for by Medicare and Medi-Cal. Families like Jennifer Lai’s say it’s a total game-changer, especially when language and culture matter. With the Bay Area’s senior population booming, this kind of care is about to get even more crucial. Honestly, this feels like the future of aging! #AgingInPlace #ElderCare #SanFrancisco #OnLok #ImmigrantStories #Health230Share
