November marks National Long-Term Care Awareness Month! It's a time to shed light on an essential yet often overlooked aspect of our lives. Long-term care isn't just about nursing homes. It encompasses various services and support for people who need ongoing assistance due to chronic illness, disabilities, or aging. This month serves as a reminder to plan and prepare for these potential needs. It's crucial to start conversations about long-term care, understand available options, and consider financial planning. These discussions can help us and our loved ones make informed decisions and create a roadmap for the future. Let's use this month as an opportunity to raise awareness, educate ourselves, and support each other in planning for the unforeseen. By acknowledging the importance of long-term care, we pave the way for a more secure and prepared future. Join the conversation, share your insights, and let's work together to foster understanding and preparedness for long-term care needs. Have questions?

This work is hard, impacts the whole community, and needs to involve cross-sectional work. One thing that I appreciate Dr. Calhoun mentioning, we need to focus on the similarities, to help address these challenges and think of innovative ideas to tackle rural healthcare. #RuralHealthcare #EastTexas #CancerAccess

📮 SURVEY | It's estimated that more than 1 in every 10 adults aged 60 and older has been a victim of elder mistreatment, and that figure is likely an underestimate as many more older people suffered from mistreatment during the pandemic. Trust for America's Health is partnering with EDC (Education Development Center) and the National Alliance for Caregiving to develop tools and guidance to support public health roles in preventing and addressing elder mistreatment.
