Efforts are underway in Japan to develop artificial intelligence-based tools that will help detect dementia at an early stage, including one that analyzes how people walk. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/06/05/japan/science-health/ai-dementia-detection/

Maine’s Department Rarely Investigates When Residents Wander Away From Their Care Facilities

Elopement — when a resident wanders out of a care home — is a real risk, particularly for people with dementia.

But in the vast majority of cases in , the facilities are never inspected and rarely sanctioned.

@ProPublica @KimPerales With modern electronics there is just no excuse. Alarms on the doors and people who are in danger when leaving the facility can wear unobtrusive proximity sensors if their Team deems it necessary. One problem that arises is when a memory care unit just demands too much even for enhanced staffing ratios. My experience is that legislatures cut resources until something horrible happens and then they blame the staff and increase resources (or a court monitor forces it).

We are poor & cannot afford to do long legal battles. We need the public to help by calling & emailing them. Please help us.

Please send at least ONE EMAIL. PLEASE!!!

It helps if emails come from many different areas of the world too. They're worried about PR more than worried about accountability for abuses of power by their senior brass.

Let them know - how far my message got! They think people don't care. Show them, you care about my family!

@msquebanh It's true. They're always most worried about strangers finding out what they did and yelling at them. The NTA is like that too.

How do you solve the problem of a rapidly aging population? Japan's government has a novel answer: change what "elderly" means. PM Kishida's government is reportedly considering a proposal to raise the definition of old age from 65 to 70. Read more below.

Good morning #Mastodon it's mother's day

You could help my #elderly mother, my ESA and myself stay housed today - my mother growing up was the only person who truly looked after me

She deserves dignity and shelter in her last days; we were already evicted from the home in which she was finally starting to feel safe

When it comes to aging, we tend to assume that cognition gets worse as we get older. But that’s not the case for everyone. Enter the "super-ager." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/04/30/world/science-health/super-agers-brains/ #worldnews #sciencehealth #aging #elderly #biology

States Across the Country Are Reforming #Guardianship. #NewYork Is Not One of Them.

New York’s system for caring for the #sick and #elderly is in shambles, experts say.

But while lawmakers in other states are overhauling their approaches to guardianship, New York only budgeted $1 million to address its deep-seated problems.
