#Community, Connection, and Healthy #Aging

🗣️ Attended the Milano Senior Center’s annual Open House today in Melrose, MA. A great reminder of why senior centers matter.

Every class—movement, balance, strength, creativity, social activities—works together to support the whole person.

But the biggest benefit isn’t measured in reps or steps:

🎯Social connection.

It’s the foundation of healthy aging and what keeps people engaged, supported, and smiling.😅

ICE Raids and Medicaid Cuts Put Both Caregivers and Their Patients at Risk

LRT: Not to mention the fact that, regardless of our relationships with our parents, most of us simply do not have the skills or availability or the finances to provide adequate care.

I am 57, broke, and disabled. My 79 year old disabled mother needs 24/7/366 care, and she cannot afford to pay for it. Neither my brother or sister are competent.

This is a job for professionals, it should be financed by #government. Anything we can actually *do*, we can afford. #aging #eldercare #healthcare

Today I made a multitude of mistakes. But also my mom's house has already garnered an offer of $380,000 on an asking price of $375, with a long line of people signed up to view it.

This will ensure that we can support mom's medical care for as long as she needs it.

The societal role of the family caregiver is vital yet often overlooked in our modern discourse. 🏛️🌿

I’m sharing a profound resource by Eleanor Gaccetta: "One Caregiver’s Journey." For those interested in the ethics of care and the personal narratives behind healthcare statistics, Eleanor’s work is essential.
