Such an important reminder, and insightful visual, as we think about #engagement. We need to work collaboratively with #patient and #caregiver partners, and find the win-win.
As high healthcare systems user, I've often been asked to share my story, but sometimes doing so did more harm to me than good. I need to remind myself that healthcare engagement should always be part of a win-win partnership.

Yes! My dad, who has #frontotemporal dementia (FTD), does a mean #Sudoku. He's almost 10 years post diagnosis. Check it out.
Let's focus more on what people living with #dementia CAN do and less on what they cannot. (image: @LEAD_Coalition) #Alzheimers #quote

Had the privilege of being interviewed on @bbcworldservice today, sharing our caregiving story in caring for my dad with #frontotemporal lobe #dementia. I'm sad hear of #BruceWillis diagnosis - and I hope this sparks the need for more research & awareness.

From one family caring for someone with #frontotemporaldementia to another, my heart aches for you. It's a cruel disease 💔 Yet there are moments of beauty and love. Awareness needs to much needed change and hope for families and people living with #FTP.

How much have you heard about Long-term care in the last 3 years? Lots!! How much of it included the stories of people who live in the #LTC homes, in their own voices? Not much. This podcast digs deep into this topic. We need to hear from residents of #LTC more often! Listen pls.
Our latest! Beyond Mandates: The Essential Input of Residents in Long-term Care Policy. In this episode we discuss the realities of living in Long-term Care from residents’ perspectives and the impact of living with policies and restrictions they may not have had a say in making.

SIMPLE but powerful. It doesn't always have to be hard to be kind and make a difference for people. If we are lucky, each of us will grow old. The evidence is clear - it can be lonely! More of things like this please!.
A Dutch supermarket chain introduced slow checkouts for people who enjoy chatting, helping many people, especially the elderly, deal with loneliness. The move has proven so successful that they installed the slow checkouts in 200 stores.

A great thread that tackles myths about aging! It’s worth 5 minutes of your time today! #aging #evidence @OARCnews.
I instruct an upper-year undergraduate course on Healthy Aging at @queensu - for one of the assignments, students were asked to create an infographic discussing a common myth about aging. I have permission to share some of the infographics with you. 1/7.
