Excited that Institute on Aging has invited me to talk next Monday about better ways to talk to your #aging parents if you're concerned about #memoryloss , falls, driving, or other signs of decline! I'll be joined by @PSpencerScott. Join us! eventbrite.com/e/when-your-ag… #aging #geriatrics

Have finally gotten to try a smartwatch for fall detection. But, so far Samsung Mobile US Galaxy active 2 watch is not detecting my falls (& I'm almost getting hurt here!). Can't say I'd recommend for #aging or emergencies.

Have you -- or someone you know -- been worried for declining #aging parents ? If so, I wrote my new book, 'When Your Aging Parent Needs Help: A Geriatrician's step-by-step guide' for YOU, and I'm celebrating its release TODAY! #aging #geriatrics #caregiving buff.ly/3p6Heqg

Am VERY disappointed by this story. Pppl are out walking & exercising bc it's VITAL TO MENTAL & PHYSICAL HEALTH, & esp imp in stressful times. Gyms are closed,few commutes. Instead of complaining, Dr. Sanjay Gupta shd lead an effort to promote safer outdoor movement during #covid19

Yikes. Ok it is time (past time, probably) to really think about implications of #covid 19 pandemic for our frail #aging adults. Everyone knows basics: social distancing, minimize travel, etc. My specific Qs: how will #hospice treat frail elders at home w #covid ? #Geriatrics

Sexuality is important at all ages, but certain issues are common w #aging , esp if you are #caregiving for yr partner. So excited to share this new post by Dr. Didyk of TheWrinkle on Sex & Caregiving (even if #alzheimers or other #dementia betterhealthwhileaging.net/navigating-sex… #geriatrics
