What if older adults can choose to receive home-based care rather than going into an institution? They can age in place with dignity & family caregivers can also get the in-home support they need. Congress has the opportunity to include #HCBS and #BuildBackBetter. #CareCantWait
On the left a red block with yellow and white text that says: right now, more people are in institutions than actually need to be. Congress must invest in home-based care so that everyone can have a real choice to get help at home. #CareCantWait. On the right side, a sepia toned photo of an older woman receiving a kiss from a younger woman.

Welcome alternatives to the +55, cruise ship model of senior housing. People this is so good. Don’t Mind the Gap in Intergenerational Housing - The New York Times nytimes.com/2021/09/02/style…

What can you learn from 3,000 years of collective life experience? Quite a bit, as you'll find w/ @skybergman's "Lives Well Lived" documentary, based on her interviews with 40 extraordinary people age 75 to 103, airing on @PBS stations through September. nextavenue.org/lives-well-li…

"Enhancing the lives of older adults through arts education requires nothing less than a cultural shift around how community organizations serve older adults." 🙌As ever @lifetimearts paves the way in creative aging + dismantling #ageism. @AAMers aam-us.org/2021/09/01/point-…

I began thinking about becoming “old” in my mid-40s when I was a caregiver for my energetic, intelligent, and creative aunt. Over the course of 10 years, while I was working in the K–12 arts educat…

What's the secret to staying young? Hint: it's not home health care. More importantly, why are we olders so willing to be erased and condescended to the way this absurdly cute commercial does? #ExposeAgeism youtu.be/W3jqRFMKoLo
