Burnout is real. #caregiving roandsteve.com/blog/my-caregi…

Never pass up an opportunity to let someone be a recipient of an act of kindness from you. Good night moon.

The most helpful things when we were looking for assisted living for our parents: -talking to residents of the community we were looking at -talking to family members of other residents -talking to staff (non sales) #caregiving #assistedliving

As family caregivers, we keep going. 💜 #dementia #poem roandsteve.com/blog/to-get-th…

Why I love my work.

Today's a great day to thank the family #caregiver in your life & tell them they're doing a great job.

It's coming. It's here. I'm spent. I hurt, I'm tired, but I'm content. Kept going, is where I went. To get through. #dementia #caregiver

The cruelty of Alzheimer’s and Lewy Body Dementia robbing Mom and Steve of their ability to use language to articulate, interact and connect is flat out horrifying. Is there a word for worse than cruel? If so, that's what the loss of verbal communication is to me. #dementia

Hope you can join Matt Perrin and Minding Our Elders for #carechat tomorrow at 12pm ET. They'll be discussing housing and navigating care transitions. #caregivers evt.to/hughughw

My darkest caregiving thought: wishing my caregiver days were over. I'm drowned in guilt as soon as it registers in my brain. But I've learned to see the thought for what it is. It's *not* a sign that I'm a horrible person. It's a sign of burnout. #dementia #caregiving

"In seconds, the cat had done what we spend all day every day trying to do–get Steve engaged, smiling, interacting. It was an absolutely wonderful sight to watch Steve engage with his new buddy." Thanks Joy For All Companion Pets! #dementia roandsteve.com/blog/a-robotic…

A twist we didn't see coming. #dementia #Blogs roandsteve.com/blog/alzheimer…

The intermittent desire for our pre-teen kids to have free reign of their house, without constant worries about volume or their levels of silliness, brings with it a brand of guilt that is so multi-sided that I don't even know where to start sorting through it. #caregiving

Routine is a blessing and a curse in our caregiving life. It keeps us sane and drives us crazy. It is our double-edged caregiving sword. Every day we live by it and some days we think we’ll die from it. #dementia #caregiving

Amazing thread on end of life. Must read.
