Woke up thinking that one of the greatest gifts that #RosalynnCarter gave us was language for things that had been in the shadows. Removing stigma from #MentalHealth challenges and naming the joys and struggles of #Caregivers ultimately giving us words to make us feel not alone.

"The analysis found more than 200,000 direct care workers will be needed by 2026 to handle the number of Michiganders aging into nursing homes. It means almost 2% of Michigan's population would need to become direct care workers in the next three years." ow.ly/l7GE50Qe2mT

Like millions of women, Sandra Day O’Connor left the workforce to provide care for her husband living with Alzheimer’s, a reminder that even Supreme Court Justices become family caregivers. #CaregiverNation forbes.com/sites/nextaven…

Many changes ushered in by the pandemic had a positive impact on the workforce, but one change is decidedly unwelcome: an uptick in age discrimination. As the number of older workers grows, we need to do everything we can to combat ageism in the workplace. spr.ly/6014p3bk2

I talked w/ SHRM about the need for policy action in support of family caregivers, from a stronger #Medicare to #PaidLeaveforAll: "The gaps and fragmentation underscore the need for national, federal action.” shrm.org/topics-tools/n… #ActOnRAISE #CaregiverNation

In our cross-sectional analysis of 10,966 nursing homes, we found those that fell below critical staffing levels (ie <3 hrs per resident-day 😳), were associated with higher inappropriate antipsychotic medication use. ChatDPT CMSGov NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing AARP Policy JAMA Network Open
