Live this advice!
Shauna Assadzandi@smassadzandi7 May 2023
My favorite 103-year-old passed away today. Her biggest advice was to be kind to everyone, even when they don’t deserve it. And to start and end every day with an oatmeal raisin cookie. So go shopping for cookies today and be nice to everyone you meet ❤️

The question could also be, what Would we do with the perspectives of the IDT. Important to use all of our strengths! Thank you to Caring for the Ages!
Caring for the Ages@Caring4theAges24 Apr 2023
What would we do without the various perspective of the #interdisciplinary team? In this interview, occupational therapist @canter_benjamin and geriatrician @sing_palat share their two perspectives on a discharge scenario. caringfortheages.com/article… @CBergmanMD @CMDA_President
