1st panel: Dr. Cai gave summary of dementia research, treatments, risk factors, & more.

Blood-based biomarker tests -> less invasive & more accessible.

Have any of you used this? What was your experience? Did insurance cover it?

To what extent should we expect the #hospice nurse to stay a while after taking vitals? What has your experience been? (In the Careist platform we can discuss more privately…if you’re in #Minnesota we hope you’ll join us there–see the link in bio.)

25% of dementia caregivers are part of the sandwich generation. You are not alone!

Careist was created to build an online community of #dementia caregivers in #Minnesota -if you're looking for support & resources, you're invited!

Image of three generations, the word caregiver very large above them, and the Text in the box reads: Maybe you just got your own little family established when you realized your parent needed more help. Maybe you can continue to offer support from afar, or maybe you are considering moving them closer–maybe even, somehow, into your home. Maybe you can manage with your current job, or maybe you will need to change course and find remote work. Maybe you are, in fact, a superhuman, but also maybe you wish you had more help. Whatever your care situation, you are not alone!

As the national public health system is being dismantled, can #Minnesota offer dementia caregivers some hope?

Add to the dumpster fire the grief of not being able to commiserate with your loved one like you used to. Anyone feeling this now?

It is the mission of Careist to create a community comprised of/welcoming to/grateful for immigrants. Creating a better world for #caregivers and their loved ones (**for everyone**) is not possible with division, exclusion, or hate. Period! 2/2

Careist rejects racism in all forms, including the inhumane attack on immigrant communities by this new administration–be it through rhetoric or action.

The economy of the U.S. and the state of #Minnesota –especially the #care sector–would be shattered without #immigrants. 1/2

Being a #familycaregiver is stressful enough, and now we worry more. Will the support systems that currently exist survive? (Insert our other 283 worries here.) This is the time to join with neighbors and build local capacity. #caregivers #minnesota #minnesotacaregivers #dementia #alzheimers #mpls
