Remote TV Support for Assisted Living Resident

I am reluctant to tout any specific technology because so much of it comes and goes, and more often just evolves at an increasingly faster rate. One barely has time to revel in a new discovery, invention, workflow automation or application of artificial intelligence, before the next iteration of it appears on the horizon. But sometimes the leap forward is so profound that the next generation of it will be an improvement, yet never achieve the sense of revolution of the former.

I am going to get to the thing called Jubilee TV, but bear with me for a bit of background.

I practiced my own version of medicine as a neurologist for 38 years before retiring. Having been deeply involved in the development of a community hospital stroke and neuro-intensive care unit I thought I had experienced the most meaningful of clinical scenarios. The good, the bad, the happy, the sad, the hopeless, and the miraculous. At the age of 72, active and healthy yet aware of the facts of aging that surround me, it is evident how important it is to consider how meaning can be enabled for those requiring more assistance in daily life.

My mom died last year at 96 and unfortunately lost most of her speech and almost all ability to perform voluntary complex motor or ambulatory functions. By the time assistance could be provided beyond just the bare bones of biophysiology and cleanliness, her decline had already eliminated the efficacy of any new technology. What I did sense, however, was an appreciation (new for this imperfect clinical mind) of the critical need for dignity as one ages.

In the past few months a family member abruptly needed to move to assisted living due to a spousal illness that exposed the frayed edges of their mutual daily functional existences. He was an engineer with a highly analytical and linear mind, still the case despite the usual declination of senescence. I had never spent much time with him but was willingly called upon to do so, driving to long distance appointments and having him in our home for 3 intensive weeks. It was astounding to watch someone so committed to self-management and process control deal with the reality of the aging process. I have always understood as a neurologist how complex so many apparently simple tasks are….moving one’s center of gravity forward in space on only two legs without face-planting, falling back or tilting sideways. How about just lifting a spoon to ones mouth or touching a finger to an iphone to answer a call properly. So many of our seemingly automated actions are in fact the result of highly complex multifactorial feedback loops and sensor-motor circuits. These are simultaneously resilient, adaptive and highly vulnerable to disruption.

Aging humans are increasingly dependent on their mobile smartphone to call, text, email and even manage medication alerts, hearing aide settings, blood pressure or glucose monitoring, etc. Its a blessing and a curse bundled into device requiring vision, touch, two-handed dexterity, all if which are in decline. And as the mind/body ecosystem becomes increasingly constrained in the use of such devices, there is an even greater need for simpler modes of interacting.

One may be critical of Amazon for any number of corporate practices, but there is no denying that this is a company whose vision was clear from the start and that has truly solved the soup-to-nuts logistics of “looking for stuff and getting it to my front door”

One may be critical of Apple for various reasons, but it is patently obvious that in the DNA of this company’s products is achieving an optimized intersection of form, function, privacy, trust and simplicity. It might not always succeed at it, but you are always aware of that philosophy emanating from its founders.

You cannot overestimate the power and utility of remote control of any device by skilled family members, professionals or others in a position to assist people in their technology dependent tasks. I have been exposed to the gamut of secure remote support tools –from complex robotic video carts for clinical telemedicine to personal use of tech support tools to easily access (by invitation of the user) to a computer or even smartphone. Sometimes its just to help with navigation, other times to walk someone through a task, others to fix a technical glitch. Its the simplicity of the workflow process that is essential, not the specific remote access technology,

And thereby is the renewed focus on the TV. We think of a TV historically as a vehicle for delivering passive content to someone who only needs to push buttons on a remote to scroll through what is available, and adjust the sound. But a TV represents a bidirectional relatively coordination-free process that is particularly relevant to people who are more likely to spend more of their time in one physical space. And a TV does not constantly pose the threat of external intrusion or the need for technical support for basic functions.

However, the more you watch older people interact with a TV the more limited they are in exploiting its potential and the greater the need to both simplify the human interface and to enable remote support by loved ones in order to leverage the technology.

For several years I had searched for whether anyone had developed a brainlessly simple method to enable me or any family caregiver to remotely support a person in assisted living (or in their own home) to watch TV . Because, as the TV itself becomes more capable of streaming and customizing more kinds of content, the remote control of it has become far. too complex. Just like what has happened to the mobile phone. One has to be clear about the goal. It is to enable the older person to expend less of their cognitive, emotional and biophysical energy in order to leverage the utility of the communications tools that can be so empowering, Anyone who has “alexa-enabled” their home in a pragmatic way knows the end result of doing this right.

Finally someone has figured this out, and clearly the founder of this company must have had personal experience with this challenge. I recently setup JubileeTV for this family member. While there might be other solutions at present, it is obvious that at least one entity has thought the process through so completely that the result is a truly streamlined implementation of the primary objective. It has merged an amazingly simple setup process with immediate human real-time support to ensure success upon launch for the end user. And the goal is achieved….

Dad/Mom/Nana/Papa….you can just sit in your comfy chair and decide what you want to see, watch, or listen to…..or we can make some suggestions for you. You can relax and not bother with anything other than a large button simplified remote control and you dont even need to touch that if its too much trouble. We are your family, we care about helping you watch a movie, hear an opera, hear a podcast, see pictures of the kids, see a popup message from us, a reminder to take medication, or a quick drop-in video visit. And we care about you not having to expend your precious energy just to initiate the task.

We can pick up our own smartphone or tablet and immediately see what your TV is showing. We can turn it on or off. Before you even have to ask we can see whether your desired show is displaying on the TV as you had intended. We can scroll through your channel guide to find something of interest. We can quickly drop in by video without you needing to click on anything other than say OK. We can install, customize and operate smart apps on that same TV to introduce you to podcasts about topics of interest. We can help you expand what you are exposed to without you needing to learn some new device or navigation process. Then we can send you a followup message that shows up on the big screen, and you can do the same to us, so we can know how it went and what else we can do to assist.

So now those who love and care for you can be your hands, arms and navigators….so you can focus your energy on getting more pleasure and meaning out of this expanding world of content and communication methods. We can simplify and support. Your job is to just feel more alive and let us know what you need. When it comes to the basics of staying in touch and staying informed, and staying connected through your big friendly TV screen, we finally have the tools we need to play the role we need to play in order to assist you.

A few examples: From my smartphone I can post a message for our family member in assisted living. He/She will see this in big display over riding the TV show or just the blank TV screen. It can be set to automatically start the TV if its off in order to show the message. Then from the smartphone I can click to “telescope” in and see what the message looks like or if its been viewed. He/She can easily respond or just view and delete from self explanatory prominent buttons on the remote that mirror the buttons on the screen.

Then when they reply they are ready…or just use standard sms if easier…I can “telescope” in again, scroll remotely to the video streaming service or TV channel that the movie is on and launch it. I can then drop in a few minutes later to confirm they are still able to watch it.

Senior citizens are leading the Voting Day efforts in southern New Mexico!

Excerpt of last night's field report from the Alamogordo, New Mexico volunteer canvassing army:

Mr J S at the Aristocrat, who's organized about 32 voters to get to the polls from assisted living, tomorrow, did us another HUGE favor on the mail-in ballots: I sent him the list from the Aristocrat Address, he confirmed, by less than 20minutes later that: 1 died, 1 moved to Las Cruces, 1 bedridden and didn't get her mail in ballot on time and too frail to "go out & vote": saved us about 45 minutes, during this critical time. ALSO, Mr J S took 120 Sharon flyers to the White Sands Mall, and passed them out, from his mobility aid-assisted situation - what an activist & supporter! You gotta recognize a living legend of enthusiasm for community care and community building, even when his chips are down. He can't talk on the phone anymore because he's too deaf and the tech is too complicated for him to use as support: but he does text, instead! I love our elders, who show me paths over obstacles, and how to inspire others from all life vantage points.

One of the most horrifying things about the fascist Trump regime that nonetheless remains slightly below the mainstream radar, is the objectively eugenicist undercurrent that runs through most of the government's public health and spending decisions. This ablest ideological plank built around the idea that Americans who can't work, are not valid members of our society, and active leeches on limited public resources, most recently burst into view during RFK Jr's dehumanizing rants about autism and autistic Americans, as well as ongoing GOP attempts to defend the homicidal class war budget reconciliation bill they're trying to ram through the Senate. These openly eugenicist declarations are always hidden behind a commitment to protect society's "most vulnerable people" but the proof is in the policy pudding, and everything about the Trumpenreich agenda seems to either ignore the existence of, or actively harm, anyone who cannot work even through no fault of their own - including aging and disabled Americans in the labor class.

Now, a recent report on the regime's proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year makes it clear that this targeted neglect and rampant ableism is woven directly into government policy. The Trumpenreich plans to defund "the Administration for Community Living (ACL) and related grant programs" in a heartless decision that seems likely to harm up to "one in five older Americans" and over 17 million disabled Americans who depend on ACL programs to lead fuller, happier, non-institutionalized lives.

https://truthout.org/articles/trumps-budget-would-limit-investigations-into-abuse-neglect-of-disabled-people/

Trump’s Budget Would Limit Investigations Into Abuse, Neglect of Disabled People

"If these programs are not funded, experts warn that an increasing number of disabled and aging Americans could be institutionalized with little oversight to ensure their rights are protected against abuse and neglect. The National Disability Rights Network (NDRN) called the plan to eliminate the programs “a direct and deliberate attack on people with disabilities, their families, and the systems that protect their rights, health, and independence.”

Alison Barkoff, who served as ACL’s acting administrator and assistant secretary for aging during the Biden administration, is now director of George Washington University’s health law and policy program. “The dismantling of ACL combined with the elimination of programs and these big Medicaid cuts are literally going to roll back decades of progress,” Barkoff told Truthout. “In terms of people with disabilities, the default [could become] people in institutions that are very unsafe with huge rights violations.”

There are two stories going on here simultaneously, and both of them are horrible fascist atrocities. In a pure material sense, the Trump regime plans to force your grandparents and millions of people with disabilities off of effective and vital assisted living programs that allow our loved ones to remain cherished parts of our communities, so they can give billionaire nazi broligarchs more cash to buy everything that isn't tied down in our society. The end result of these budget decisions will be more Americans who, and I cannot stress this enough, are capable of living happy, healthy, and cherished lives in our homes and communities, being warehoused in often abusive, dehumanizing institutional settings with little government oversight to prevent atrocities against our friends, families, and other loved ones. That isn't an ideological position, that's just the bottom line and it fits in perfectly with a larger pattern of disdain and neglect towards poor and marginalized people displayed by Trump, his administration, and the wealthy donors who own them; after all, rich ppl can afford the care necessary to keep their family members out of institutional settings, right?

As the article goes on to note however, this horrifying decision to purposely rewind time to a darker era of American disability rights and standards of care, isn't entirely financial in its motivations. Indeed, whatever savings the government is hoping to accomplish here are purely paper artifacts because public institutionalization of elderly and disabled Americans is going to cost the state a lot more money in the long run. No, the bald truth here is that this decision is rooted deeply in the Pork Reich's open disdain for the American people, and ideological belief that the labor class in this country is nothing more than a commodity; useful at times in terms of economic inputs, but an active blight on society to be eliminated once we can no longer serve our purpose of extracting wealth for the ruling classes. The billionaire nazis running this global far right political project are planning for a world with far less humans, and the puppets they own, including the Trump regime, are helping sort out who gets to survive to see the brave new world they envision.

Apologies if this is myopic or rude, but I just visited an #elderly friend who just moved into #assistedliving and I loved it! Someone to do the cleaning? No house DIY or yard maintenance? A cafeteria just downstairs? A gym, pool, garden, and crafting classes on site? FFS, its little convenience even sold knitters' needles and yarn! Gonna put more into savings so I can live in a place like that someday!

In the US, not even $11,000 a month can buy you dignity at the end of your life

After watching my father’s struggle in a system that values profit over compassion, I wonder: how much longer will we accept a future where most of us lose our sense of human worth in old age?

The basic principle should be: The only one who has authority over the question "is my life (still) worth living" --- is the individual self (depending on mental state, not age)

Given his or her (informed) selfassessment and choice --- all help possible should be given in all stages of the interwoven processes of #assisteddying or #assistedliving

What is feasible on either path is matter of continuous dialogue between that autonomous person and the involved health and care professionals.

Every death is a beginning of the end of the beginning of the end. Or something like that; but there is no curiosity more powerful than the clues the dead leave behind as breadcrumb secrets of who they really were during their lives, along with all the curses left behind with the truths of their real, haunting, hidden, desires.

We, the living, are forced into the service of the shadows of the dead, to dig into the unwanted, the forgotten, and the unforgiven. We quickly discover the withholdings of a brokered life that are shattered open against all the hopes of the passed. Public truths forged as private lies are slyly revealed.

The weaponization of compartmentalization is often key to unraveling the mystery. Divide and separate. Tell everyone something, but never one person everything. That way, control is kept; desires are checked. Nobody has the full story. Only a reality-spun myth can be shared as gossip, perception, and relating.

In the corners of the night and hiding in the crevices of the abandonment, a sliver, a niche, of small truths are forced back alive like ghostly glass flasks recovered from a shipwreck. A curiosity that compels meaning. 

It’s all there and it all becomes real. The donations. The esoteric splurges. The divine in the mundane. The old tax returns are the purest form of a rarest, radiant, truth that cannot be denied, even in death — the government demands to know! And so, all the numbers are there — sprawled out and bleeding — longing to be collected, paid back, sold, donated, gifted, or maybe even returned anew into something saved, as well as something earned.

We learn there is no hiding from death. It pinches each of us in our time. So the dead must hope to learn someone is always left behind to clean and reconstruct. There is no human salvation, or ethereal redemption, in the drudginess of an unearthed dying — only bits of the reality of the living matters now.

The unknown becomes spoken, and those who were forbidden to connect are now able to refine, and realize, in the brighter light of day, and commune in what had been lost, and abandoned, for 40 years in a forcible darkness.

Even a dimming sun may brightly shine against the dying of the day — and a hard truth sets in — as facts are revealed, and the vision of belonging, and understanding, all become alighted in magic hour chaos.

Understanding arrives in revelation. The forms and signatures are all left behind just to be crated, boxed, examined, and acted upon. And then forgotten.

Now we know everything.

In the loss is found the longing for understanding; and the matrix of a hidden, and complex life, becomes reasonable, and stinging, and ripe for the frame of context and analysis that could never be comprehended in the burlesque busking of the active life.

And so it all ends as it began: Emptiness becoming belonging, and loneliness anoints everything that could have been.

Oh, yes, and the dead only leave behind inescapableness.

@davew. I canceled #WaPo a few months ago (#NYT a long time ago). I think it was a #Thiessen opinion piece that was the last straw but it was a hard decision. Some of their reporting had been excellent, especially the articles on conditions in #assistedliving residences and #nursinghomes.

"Among other provisions, the final rule will also require facilities to have a registered nurse on staff 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Nursing homes would also be required to provide residents with at least 0.55 hours of care from a registered nurse every day, as well as 2.45 hours of care from a nurse aide.

Definitely an improvement; obviously doesn't go far enough. Now address #wages and then do #AssistedLiving residences.

Algorithmically-assisted vulture capitalists…

Douglas MacMillan & Christopher Rowland: Assisted living managers say an algorithm prevented hiring enough staff: The nation’s largest assisted-living chain uses a staffing algorithm; some managers say they quit or were fired after they complained it left facilities dangerously short-handed

"At a Brookdale facility in Chicago, tiny elevators prevented residents from being herded en masse to dinner, necessitating more trips and more time than Service Alignment allotted. At a facility in New Port Richey, Fla., the algorithm recommended fewer caregivers than buildings, making it impossible to monitor all residents at all times. And at a facility near Fort Worth, residents often could not undress, shower and get dressed again within the allotted 20 minutes — constantly putting caregivers behind in their tasks."

Let's say I had capital and a piece of land...

Does ANYBODY know a person or business or organisation that actually knows how to do affordable small scale co-housing for disabled independent young people?
I'm talking actual projects & plans.

If so we need to talk.

btw it's a corner site of 1000m2. Local planning laws allow for 2 or 3 levels.

Thanks!
