A startling proportion of older people report that they've experienced discrimination: 63 percent, in a study recently published in Research on Aging. The most commonly cited cause? "Thirty percent report being mistreated because of their age," said the lead author Ye Luo, a Clemson University sociologist. Perceived discrimination because of gender, race or ancestry, disabilities or appearance followed in smaller proportion" http://newoldage.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/12/age-discrimination-takes-its-toll/ ****************************************************** ****************************************************** AgingInfoUSA:"Sue Salach-Cutler has worked in the geriatric healthcare field for close to 20 years and is the Author of "Along Comes Grandpa", a caregiving resource guide, and the novel "If I Walked in Her Shoes" (http://www.AlongComesGrandpa.com).

Monahan:"Humobile is a book designed to assist a person/family (especially babyboomers) with a sick or injured loved one at home, especially if they do not have any family to help or lack basic nursing/healthcare knowledge and skills. It is also designed to assist home health aides, nursing aides, assistant living aides, nursing students, medical assistants, or even seasoned medical or preventaive health care practitioners with the activities of daily living for the person who they are taking care of. In other words, it gives the "why" behind the "what" you are doing for the home patient and shows you how to "safely" take care of yourself and your loved one or home patient. It is written in simple terminology, which leads to easy reading and understanding. It describes the correlationship between a human body and an automobile in relationship to being "good working mechanical machines or run down old jalopies." ****************************************************** Nurses House, A National Fund For Nurses in Need:"Nurses House is the only national charitable foundation dedicated to helping nurses in need - regardless of race, color, creed or gender, in all 50 states.

Direct-care workers provide the vast majority of hands-on care within our long-term care health system. Consumers rely on these workers to provide them with comfort, companionship, and care in an atmosphere that preserves their dignity and well-being. As a result, consumers consistently cite the quality of their relationship with their paraprofessional workers as a primary determinant of their quality of life."

Women comprise 75% of the nursing home resident population, 97% of professional long term caregivers and the vast majority of family members caring for relatives at home. This demographic reality gives rise to a lot of issues, from healthcare delivery to pay equity and fringe benefits. Ironically, but not surprisingly, the majority of leadership and policy-making positions, both in long term care and in government, are occupied by men. The question becomes: How can we bring women's unique perspectives and situations, as they pertain to long term care, to the full attention of the board rooms, the legislatures, and the executive agencies of the government?"

It's not a disease or disability. It's the future of health care:"Today it isn't bad enough that our society marginalizes our elders. Caregiving itself is treated as a disease or disability, and the caregiver is often alienated, neglected and even shunned. It's been my experience that most people don't want to get too close to a caregiver on a regular basis. Much of our lives is not our own, and we are forced to decide which relationships, social engagements and interests to sustain and which to drop. And, let's face it, sometimes we are too exhausted or depressed to be fun company." http://www.charlotte.com/mld/observer/news/4606546.htm ****************************************************** Caregivers Advisory Panel giving a voice to the caregiver...
