Coway bidet toilet seat remote control holder.It is too big for the remote.
The remote moves around when the button is pushed.(Thanks Coway. Your holder is not fit for purpose. smh. )
I made a pad of expanded styrofoam measuring 71mm wide, 77mm tall and angled from ~6mm thick at the top to 7mm thick at the bottom.
This will be put in the back bottom of the holder and held in place with double sided tape.

Interacting with a bank?
Give them no information that you are not legally obliged to give them.
Account holder has died & you have a recognised Power of Attorney?
Don't tell the bank about the death unless you are legally obligated to.
Account holder has reduced capacity & you have a recognised Power of Attorney?
Don't tell the bank unless you are legally obligated to.
The bank will screw people over if in their best interest.

Why can't clinicians override inaccurate algorithm decisions?
By Anne ConnollyIf the government wants a true indication of the level of feeling in the community, perhaps it should read the thousands of comments on Facebook where discussions about the algorithm, long waitlists, and people dying are growing by the day.

Family shocked by aged care system's complexity demands overhaul
By Adrienne FrancisVal Cupitt's family are calling for a more streamlined system to apply for aged care, after spending months navigating it to find her a place to call home.

Someone I know is taking the lock from their side gate into the locksmith to get it keyed.
And they'll phone the Australian National Dementia Helpline and ask about the legalities of locking doors & gates to stop an elderly person putting themself in grave danger.They're not feeling good.
I'm thinking that being prevented from going out into the world is a significant change.
It could be put into an Advanced Care Directive.#AgingInPlace #AgedCare #DementiaCare #AdvancedCareDirectives

I'd have thought this was a silly joke.But they're serious.
"Trusted partners" - I'm seeing anyone proposing that they'll release medical and private data to anonymous others as inherently untrustworthy.
A deal killer in my evaluation.

And I hear the facility is planning on stopping the new locked-ward resident having a mobile phone.
These day's removing a person's mobile phone looks like acting to socially isolate them.
This does not appear to be consistent with maintaining existing skills nor with supporting the resident in maintaining friendships & relationships.
Both of these are, AIUI, effective in slowing the progression of dementia.

I've been looking for a short YT video showing that the way carers act and respond can help someone with #Dementia have a better life.
And just as importantly that the carer can have a better life too.I haven't found one.
There are long ones from which I can, with years of related experience, draw out the basic idea.
And there are short ones. I find the tone of the short ones I've looked at ... unattractive.If anybody has suggestions, I won't criticise.

CW: CW: No GP will help / ME, disabled despair
#Boost please
GPs in clinics are waiting for me to:
1. Go into #agedcare (I’m not aged.)
2. To see a #GP (Who works in their clinic.)
3. Because I don’t fit their business model. (They won’t #homevisit or #Telehealth me even if I see them once.)Yes they literally said this.
(So I am too sick to help now, but as a younger person in aged care I wouldn’t be?….???!!! What???)
Someone help me! 😭
