Thanks to our partners @_bacoa + everyone who joined in making fidget quilts for local people with dementia today. The quilts provide stimulation & entertainment, while also being soothing. Participants also learned more about what it means to be a dementia friend.

Globally, more than a billion people are now over 60. That number will double by 2050. So, what should this new cohort of modern elders be doing with their third age? (✏️: Ken Dychtwald, @AgeWave) nextavenue.org/volunteer-eld…

Crucial for elders and their caregivers to know: A COVID-19 infection can look very different in older adults, without the classic fever-cough-trouble breathing symptoms. I spoke with authors of a big new study: nytimes.com/2021/08/08/healt…

For Seniors Especially, Covid Can Be Stealthy (Published 2021)

With infections increasing once more, and hospitalization rising among older adults, health experts offer a timely warning: a coronavirus infection can look different in older patients.

Take precautions by wearing a mask in indoor public settings. Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 offers a high level of protection. Additionally, follow the 3 Ws: wear a mask, watch your distance and wash your hands. Visit the CDC COVID-19 Data Tracker page for more information.

The safest way to celebrate #Thanksgiving is with your household members. Cook traditional family recipes, have a virtual dinner with your friends and family, or watch parades and movies from your cozy couch.

Music has the power to inspire movement, ease symptoms of brain health conditions, and simply make us feel better. Just watch this powerful moment as Marta C. Gonzalez, a former Prima Ballerina now living with dementia, hears the iconic music of Swan Lake. 🎶 #MondayMotivation

Ballerina Marta C. Gonzalez - who lived with dementia - is taken back to her days dancing in Swan Lake thanks to the power of music. This clip shows what an important tool music can be for people with dementia. So beautiful to see! 💙🎶 @DespertarMusica

We are taught that our words have an impact as children. So why do we forget that as adults, especially when speaking to fellow adults? Subtle ageism exists in the words we use even when we do not realize it. Challenge yourself to evaluate the impact your words have on others.

Safety is key this election season! If you prefer to vote in person, Illinois has your back (from 6 feet away). Polling sites are following strict protocols to provide you with a safe, physically distanced and clean voting experience. Don’t forget your mask! #Election2020
