25 years on the floor. One honest conversation about elder care. A nurse tells us what neglect actually looks like, why ageism costs lives, and the 1 question every family should ask before choosing care.

📣 Train the Body. Train the Brain.🧠
A quick highlight from today’s SPARTA class at Heritage House, Malden, MA 🤝🏽 In partnership with Mystic Valley Aging Services
💥 While our full routine also includes resistance bands and battle ropes, this video spotlights a few key drills that build dynamic balance and movement confidence: 👟
• Backward Walking — Retraining gait mechanics and improving spatial awareness.
• Slam‑to‑Agility Combo — Moving from explosive power into precise footwork.
• Cone Pivots — Practicing turns and directional changes for real‑world balance.Age is just a number.💪🏾

Showing up for our community never stops. 💟
I returned to Forestdale Park Senior Living today for another visit with Mary. We spent time chatting about Dunkin' snacks (she likes them all!) and talking about her legendary ball slams 💥 and battle rope skills in my Malden Senior Center class.
Before I left, I helped her warm up for her upcoming weightlifting class and shared some fist bumps with the group. 👊🏽
Once a rockstar, always a rockstar! 🌟💪🏾

Three shifts. One resident. Sepsis from a Stage 3 wound. The chain of decisions across 72 hours that produced a preventable death and the version that stands.

A new CNA on her second shift. A bedridden resident no one has time for. What eight hours looks like inside a nursing home that is structurally short.

Good care is not a personality trait. It is a structure. The five conditions that produce good nursing home care, and the questions families should ask.

Today we closed on selling my elderly parent's condo. 6 months ago we moved him to assisted living. The amount of stuff we've needed to do for him in the last 6 months, all apart from his medical care, has been kind of incredible. He probably has undiagnosed ADHD, and aging has not helped his executive function. His problem-solving skills are located in 1985: he would start with the yellow pages, and doesn't really have a next strategy after that. With the sale of the house, I hope we've turned a corner on what kinds of caregiving we're doing. My husband and I got take-out Japanese food tonight to celebrate, because we're very boring and that was the best realistic thing we could think of. #eldercare

A medical records reviewer does not start by reading. The first ten minutes are about structure. Order the binders. Read admission first. Scan incident reports for rhythm. Glance at the TAR. Save the recent notes for last.

The aide wrote: tried to get up alone. The incident report wrote: attempted to ambulate unassisted. The DON wrote: history of impulsivity. Same fall, three documents, each one further from the bathroom floor.

Goddamn shitty medical supply company didn't ship Uncle's glucose monitor sensors because of some sort of insurance problem, didn't send any email notifying us there was a problem, so now my Uncle has no glucose sensors and it's going to be a couple days at a minimum before I can get this fixed.
It's the second time in two months one of these companies has run into insurance issues and just not shipped critical supplies, with no notice.
Fucking assholes.

The chart says no significant changes for eight months. He walked in. He cannot stand up now. The chart describes none of it. The decline is in the absences. How to read a nursing home chart that is full and says nothing.

A device in the wall. Always listening. No camera. No button. No guaranteed consent. Before your family says yes, read this.

I'm struggling for ideas to make my parents' lives easier. Mum's mobility has deteriorated to the point where she's struggling to transfer herself from her wheelchair. Right now what we need is a service we could call where someone comes and helps... but there doesn't seem to be anything between 'call a friend' and 'call an ambulance'. Ideas most welcome; I just don't know what to do or who to talk to. #eldercare #elderly

Dogs this weekend, and another Tucson mural! My son and his partner came over with 3 dogs. 2 like to play-fight. Would you want that set of jaws pouncing on you? I also took pictures of one of the dogs at the assisted living my stepfather is at. Plus a mural I biked by. #dogs #eldercare #Tucson #Arizona

Hey turbo dweebs. Is there a UK version of something like this?
Ideally either no subscription fees, no connectivity required, and definitely good privacy, idfk.
At the very least, is there a DIY or open source of something similar?https://elliq.com/pages/how-it-works

Tonight was an extremely shitty night in the elder-care department. Buckle in, this is a long rant I need to get off my chest.

I don't remember whether I've posted before about how Uncle's Adult Protective Services caseworker and the caseworker's supervisor both basically ghosted me, stopped paying Uncle's rent from his Social Security checks which they were managing, without notifying either Uncle or me that they were going to do that, and before doing that sent a rent payment which was totally the wrong amount for some hitherto unexplained reason.

Both dogs at my stepfather's assisted living facility turned their bellies up and asked me for a belly rub. I could sit there and pet them for ages. One hand per dog. #dogs #eldercare

A hard thing about trying to care for Uncle from several states away is I need to rely on other people and people let me down repeatedly.
I repeatedly asked the people who promised to gather up Uncle's incorrectly unforwarded mail and ship it to me to search his apartment for mail and make sure to send me all of it.
Today after several months' hiatus I finally made it to Uncle's apartment and found multiple piles of mail they didn't send me.
🤦😡
