| BayadaHHC | Hello everyone, Happy Wednesday!
#eldercarechat | |
| JordanEM | A2 - Honestly, don't know much abt elder care in other countries. #eldercarechat | |
| LaPosadaGVAZ | a1: Australia. They seem to be organized in addressing their aging needs! #eldercarechat | |
| ctffox | @CaringWise Hi Trevania! #eldercarechat | |
| caregiving | @DARTS_MN @DinaRamon @BayadaHHC Welcome! Thanks for joining us today! #eldercarechat | |
| Seniors4Living | @DARTS_MN That's a great point! I'll tweet that out... #eldercarechat | |
| CaringWise | Nor I; hoping to learn. RT @JordanEM: A2 - Honestly, dont know much abt elder care in other countries. #eldercarechat | |
| NatriceR | RT @LaPosadaGVAZ: a1: Australia. They seem to be organized in addressing their aging needs! #eldercarechat | |
| LaPosadaGVAZ | @darts_mn It is subjective. Eldercare is different everywhere! :) #eldercarechat | |
| CaringWise | How? RT @LaPosadaGVAZ: a1: Australia. They seem to be organized in addressing their aging needs! #eldercarechat | |
| NatriceR | hi Joann, me either RT @JordanEM: A2 - Honestly, dont know much abt elder care in other countries. #eldercarechat | |
| Seniors4Living | @DARTS_MN suggested we might need to define a "good" elder care system first. Thoughts? #eldercarechat | |
| NatriceR | RT @LaPosadaGVAZ: @darts_mn It is subjective. Eldercare is different everywhere! :) #eldercarechat | |
| BayadaHHC | RT @caregiving: RT @Seniors4Living: Q1. In your opinion, what country has the best elder care system & why? #eldercarechat | |
| JordanEM | @CaringWise @NatriceR We're birds of a feather #eldercarechat | |
| NatriceR | eldercare can differ from one place to another, never mind countries;) #eldercarechat | |
| parentgiving | A1: That's a toughy. The UK and Australia have promising news and programs, but I think the world is learning b/c age crisis #eldercarechat | |
| Seniors4Living | @JordanEM @CaringWise Certainly! That's what today is all about. The first question is just to get things rolling. :) #eldercarechat | |
| parentgiving | RT @NatriceR: RT @LaPosadaGVAZ: @darts_mn It is subjective. Eldercare is different everywhere! :) #eldercarechat | |
| BayadaHHC | @Seniors4Living I would agree with that suggestion, what constitutes a good eldercare system on a country-wide level? #eldercarechat | |
| Seniors4Living | @NatriceR That's true! #eldercarechat | |
| DinaRamon | Q1: #eldercarechat Canada & several European countries have exemplary senior care environments; potential good models for US | |
| CaringWise | To me good #eldercare means people have the support systems they need as they age—preferably to age in place & healthy... #eldercarechat | |
| Seniors4Living | MT @parentgiving: A1: The UK and Australia have promising news/programs, but I think the world is learning b/c age crisis #eldercarechat | |

| GlobalAgeing | RT @Seniors4Living: Q1. In your opinion, what country has the best elder care system & why? #eldercarechat | |
| NatriceR | i heard Scandanavian countries had better systems, know someone in Netherlands, same story there, not enough time for care #eldercarechat | |
| LaPosadaGVAZ | @caringwise They are very well organized in infrastructure, like roads. I have read the trickle down effect happens there. #eldercarechat | |
| Seniors4Living | Since Q1 is quite subjective, let's try Q2: What countries are doing innovative things in elder care... #eldercarechat | |
| caregiving | RT @CaringWise: To me good #eldercare means people have the support systems they need as they age #eldercarechat | |
| Seniors4Living | ...or have the best attitude about caring for seniors? (Q2 continued) #eldercarechat | |
| CaringWise | ...but that "good" eldercare may be from govt, other programs, or b/cause culture means it's a family priority #eldercarechat | |
| BayadaHHC | RT @caregiving: RT @CaringWise: To me good #eldercare means people have the support systems they need as they age #eldercarechat | |
| JordanEM | Good eldercare =supports level of care need by individuals, not a 1 size fits all. #eldercarechat | |
| Seniors4Living | @NatriceR I would agree -- Scandinavian countries have a good reputation for care/the overall quality of life for all people. #eldercarechat | |
| parentgiving | A1: Very true. South Korea's "aging boom" has solutions/traditions that fit with culture, like multi-gen fams living together #eldercarechat | |
| JordanEM | MT @Seniors4Living: lets try Q2: What countries are doing innovative things in elder care... #eldercarechat | |
| BayadaHHC | @caregiving I would agree, having the support and the security one needs to age safely! #eldercarechat | |
| Seniors4Living | @CaringWise That's true -- government, individuals, culture, and families all drive elder care around the world. #eldercarechat | |
| GlobalAgeing | RT @Seniors4Living: Since Q1 is quite subjective, let's try Q2: What countries are doing innovative things in elder care... #eldercarechat | |
| LaPosadaGVAZ | @seniors4living Could be..They shine on their FB pages with #aging programs! #eldercarechat | |
| caregiving | Q2. Which countries have innovative eldercare programs? The best attitude about caring for seniors? #eldercarechat | |
| DinaRamon | #eldercarechat I believe good #eldercare system has to mean affordable health care and housing; if u don't have that u have no QOL w/odoubt | |
| LaPosadaGVAZ | RT @seniors4living: Since Q1 is quite subjective, let's try Q2: What countries are doing innovative things in elder care... #eldercarechat | |
| Seniors4Living | @ElderLawAssoc Wow! I knew our country was aging fast, but that's amazing. #eldercarechat | |

| parentgiving | Q2: S Korea again, raising youth awareness in the classroom through simulating aging/dementia affects for empathy-interesting #eldercarechat | |
| caregiving | I would also add that good eldercare supports the family unit and the older adult. #eldercarechat | |
| CaringWise | To me, the ideal is a culture that encourages/supports family care. But it is tough to create retroactively :) #eldercarechat | |
| NatriceR | I know some areas in Canada have a smaller pod approach to eldercare, smaller units, better ratios #eldercarechat | |

| Seniors4Living | RT @caregiving: I would also add that good eldercare supports the family unit and the older adult. <=AGREE! #eldercarechat | |
| NatriceR | I would also say style is supported by the caregivers at front line, team important #eldercarechat | |
| JordanEM | Part of why I think intergenerational programs important T @parentgiving: Q2: S Korea again, raising youth awareness in ... #eldercarechat | |
| BayadaHHC | @caregiving yes, good eldercare undrestands what a health care team is and who the members of that team are, including family #eldercarechat | |
| julieheartsbrad | What's also interesting is how people from non-Western societies age in the West after migrating to the U.S. #ElderCareChat | |
| NatriceR | in Ontario we are short on funding, long wait lists to get into care even #eldercarechat | |

| parentgiving | RT @BayadaHHC: Good elder care understands what a health care team is and who the members of that team are, including family #eldercarechat | |

| caregiving | RT @Seniors4Living: Q3: In the Netherlands, an Alzheimer’s care complex breaks from nursing home norm. Are we doing same? #eldercarechat | |

| NatriceR | RT @Seniors4Living: @LaPosadaGVAZ Excellent, Will. I think the neighborhood design idea is so important and effective too! #eldercarechat | |

| NatriceR | RT @Seniors4Living: @NatriceR Thank you! That is true, no place has a perfect system; were all learning as we go, right? #eldercarechat | |
| Seniors4Living | @GlennerCenters That's true. I think that's a vital component of good care. #eldercarechat | |
| LaPosadaGVAZ | Check Atlantic Cities on-line. They have many articles about community planning for seniors! #eldercarechat | |
| JordanEM | MT @Seniors4Living: Q3: Netherlands Alz care complex attempts 2 break from the nursing home norm. R we doing the same here? #eldercarechat | |

| parentgiving | @Seniors4Living Yes, I thought it sounded wonderful as well. Don't know about costs, but they sound a bit like the pods MT... #eldercarechat | |
| Seniors4Living | @julieheartsbrad Excellent point, Julie. Would love to hear more of your thoughts on that! #eldercarechat | |
| caregiving | I wonder, sometimes, if we build facilities to accommodate adult children (assuage the guilt) rather than the older adult. #eldercarechat | |
| SrCareCorner | @parentgiving Gwalia Mynydd Mawr in UK building "cluster housing" for dementia care with other innovations to reduce anxiety #eldercarechat | |
| BrainToday | Important component of elder care - focus on cognitive health at younger age (manage chronic conditions, proper diet, etc) #eldercarechat | |

| DrDaveHowells | #eldercarechat I am impressed by the Dutch care home model of having a dedicated specialty! http://t.co/bzOjflWJ | |
| julieheartsbrad | @Seniors4Living Because of changing family dynamics, it's more acceptable to place elderly relatives in a facility. #ElderCareChat | |

| CaringWise | RT @caregiving: I wonder if we build facilities for adult children (assuage the guilt) rather than the older adult. <<yes #eldercarechat | |

| Seniors4Living | Q4: India is breaking w/ tradition & developing communities that look like our assisted living homes. Good move? #eldercarechat | |
| BayadaHHC | A3 - We are always attempting to present a different perspective by raising awareness about the benefits of home health care #eldercarechat | |
| GlennerCenters | Feeling like part of a community is vital to senior health b/c they still want to feel valued. Great programs do that. #eldercarechat | |

| CaringWise | RT @BrainToday: Eldercare also incl social support/basic living needs. Canada/New Zealand have noted programs #eldercarechat | |
