So many of us are thrown into caregiving without warning, not realizing how overwhelming, depleting and isolating it can be. nextavenue.org/understanding…

In 2021 the poverty rate grew among older adults-rising above younger age groups for the 1st time in 15 years, writes @lydiadepillis via @NYTimes. Much to be done to advance economic security for older adults & assure a dignified old age, ⁦@ASAging⁩ nytimes.com/2022/10/17/busin…

Millions of older adults are just one misfortune away from economic catastrophe and that's partly because the index we use to measure poverty is out of date for the costs older people bear. The elder index is a more reliable measure. bit.ly/3za0Dxp
There is a huge proportion of women and women of color that will age into #poverty. We shouldn’t force people into poverty before they can get any sort of assistance.- Tracey Gronniger of @justiceinaging #LiveNow #AgingIssues #HealthEquity

A beautiful moment from @sheelaawe: "My grandpa is 93 & has Alzheimer’s. He doesn’t know my name, where I live or who I am. This is us, sharing a moment of happiness, where memory doesn’t have to play a part in the experience.🖤"
