16-May-12 00:51 | msmary1962

avoid unhealthy behaviors, not wearing a seatbelt or bicycle helmet, texting and driving #carenov


@msmary1962 #carenov Right! Exactly why CG needs to take care. i don't like the statistic of CG more likely todie BFR peers either.

16-May-12 00:47 | alisonpilsner

@CareNovate sometimes action similar to intervention is needed to get CG to seek help; others have to force theissue #carenov

mental health service locator. Prevention is better than cure http://t.co/WMGWIl3p #carenov


@CareNovate #carenov CG often won't ask-family,friends encourage taking help by giving it. May help CG getused to accepting help wo guilt


@CareNovate Again, I think women ashamed to admit depression as result of caregiving; R reluctant to seekhelp #carenov


Strengthening connections with family and friends who can provide important emotional support is important inmanaging #stress #carenov

Secondhand smoke causes lung problems, including coughing, too much phlegm, wheezing, and breathlessnessamong school-aged kids. #carenov


@DinaRamon @CareNovate #carenov True! How would CG find these? We need to reach out to CG from beg ofdiagnosis. Would be nice 2have Dr help


When you are asked to take care of yourself, they mean it, even five blessed minutes a day.-from a caregiverhttp://t.co/dOVy8yFL #carenov


Local AOA great resource #carenov

16-May-12 00:24 | msmary1962

@CareNovate Make sure I get my exercise; I aim for once/day or at least every other day; #carenov

@DinaRamon @CareNovate @CaregiverAlly #carenov Perhaps the place to begin CG support is the PT's Dr'soffice - to get info, resources,help


We quit smoking around 14 years ago. #carenov

16-May-12 00:23 | msmary1962

@CareNovate #carenov well mother's day was sunday & i got my spa day & my brunch. i have been sleeping! lol


@CareNovate @CaregiverAlly So true & potenially catastrophic for caregiver & caregivee; caregiver oftenashamed to ask for help #carenov


@DinaRamon great support is so important #carenov


we had girling come take care of our grandfather when he was sick #CARENOV


@DinaRamon @CareNovate #carenov The trick is having the CG find the resources, support. What's a goodplace?


what have you all done to care for you since Mother's day? #carenov


58% #caregivers indicate worse exercise habits than before caregiving responsibilities. #carenov


63% of caregivers report having poor eating habits than non-caregivers #carenov


55% of family #caregivers report skipping doctor appointments #carenov


National Alliance for Caregiving and Evercare, 72% of family #caregivers report not going to the doctor as oftenas they should #carenov


RT @CareNovate: screening by age-http://www.womenshealth.gov/whw/health-resources/screening-tool/index.cfm #carenov


The average #caregiver is age 46, female, married and working outside the home earning an annual income of$35,000. #carenov


@CaregiverAlly absolutely and #caregiver tends to forget to care for themselves #carenov


@CareNovate Caregivers definitely need to know they are not alone and that resources are available to helpmanage caregiving stress #carenov


Not on our insurance and it takes all of our coverage to cover hubs expenses. #carenov

16-May-12 00:15 | msmary1962

Female caregivers may spend as much as 50% more time providing care than male caregivers.http://bit.ly/IWLjTg#carenov


screening by age -http://www.womenshealth.gov/whw/health-resources/screening-tool/index.cfm #carenov


Screening - we diet and exercise, which is good but do we all know screenings that should be done by yourprovider? #carenov


It is imp to step back & self evaluate on your health as well as your friends and family members; we all need 2help each other #carenov


@NCOAging #carenov I think all preventive exams are covered by ins 100% -so good for everyone to getchecked yearly at any age


RT @NCOAging: We're encouraging older women to age healthy and take advantage of Medicare's freescreenings #carenov

16-May-12 00:13 | LongevityTweet

Because of added stress and responsibilities, caregivers are 2x as likely as noncaregivers to report mental healthcomplications #carenov


I absolutely know about NWHW and some activities; I do support/consult for a woman who is a women'healthcare advocate #carenov


Fact - did you know that 44 and 54 million people provide care for a loved one in the United States and aremostly women? #carenov


We're encouraging older women to age healthy and take advantage of Medicare's free screenings #carenov
