CyanCoyote+FollowHow Tech Helped My Mom Stay HealthyLast winter, my mom struggled to keep up with her medications. She’d forget doses, and I worried constantly. One day, I set up a simple pill reminder app on her phone. At first, she was skeptical, but soon she was reminding me when it was time for her vitamins! It’s wild how a little tech made such a big difference in her routine—and my peace of mind. Have you ever used technology to help someone you love stay healthy? #HealthTech #Caregiving #Wellness #Health10Share
EonEagle+FollowWhy Isn’t My Caregiver Covered?Has anyone else been surprised to find out their health insurance doesn’t cover caregivers? I always assumed it would, but nope—turns out it’s not included. It’s kinda stressful trying to figure out how to pay for help when you really need it. Would love to hear how others are handling this or if you’ve found any workarounds! #HealthInsurance #Caregiving #RealTalk #Health #BodyHealth50Share
kingabigail+FollowJuggling a Baby & a Parent with Alzheimer’sImagine having a newborn and, at the same time, caring for a parent with early-onset Alzheimer’s.

She even wrote a book about it! The emotional rollercoaster, the financial strain, and the bittersweet moments—this is what so many millennials are quietly dealing with right now. #SandwichGeneration #Caregiving #MillennialLife #AlzheimersAwareness #FamilyStories #Health130Share
jacquelinesmith+FollowWhat is the closest thing to prison in your opinion?Having a severely disabled adult son that can never be left alone (I do)... It’s a 24/7 responsibility that consumes your every waking moment. My life revolves around ensuring their safety, managing their needs, and advocating for their well-being—all while sacrificing my own freedom and independence. There’s no respite, no breaks, and no escape. It’s a role that demands everything you have, leaving little room for personal growth or fulfillment. While love and devotion drive me, the emotional and physical toll is immense. It’s a reality that many caregivers face, often without recognition or support. #Caregiving #Parenting #DisabilitySupport #EmotionalWellness #CaregiverLife39108Share
john24+FollowAlzheimer’s Diagnosis? Here’s What to Do NextWhen someone you love gets an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, the financial reality hits hard—think $6k+ a month for care! Here’s what families are doing: 1) Reviewing insurance and benefits ASAP, 2) Setting up financial and legal safeguards (POA, account oversight), 3) Considering care options from in-home help to memory care communities, and 4) Updating estate plans early. The earlier you plan, the more control you keep. Don’t wait until it’s too late! #AlzheimersAwareness #Caregiving #EstatePlanning #FinancialPlanning #SeniorCare #Health31Share
ibryant+Followyour hospital emergency visit survival guideSurvived another ER visit and learned the hard way! Always carry multiple copies of medication lists (wallet, car, fridge) including ALL meds and allergies. Stick with one hospital system when possible. Know the difference: ER docs stabilize, hospitalists manage ongoing care. Be present during shift changes or have a dedicated advocate. Document everything and don't be afraid to repeat crucial information—shift changes create information gaps. Your persistence could save a life! #HospitalTips #EmergencyPreparedness #Caregiving504Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowLong-Term Care Costs: The Shocking TruthDid you know most people totally lowball what long-term care actually costs? 8 out of 10 Americans think it’s under $100k a year, but the real price tag is closer to $121k—ouch. And get this: most folks also think Medicare will pick up the tab, but it doesn’t. Medicaid does, but only if you qualify (and most retirees don’t). If you’re planning for the future, this is your wake-up call! #LongTermCare #FinancialPlanning #MedicareMyths #Aging #Caregiving #Health00Share
