| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT So I guess I will start with my first question. Have any of you work in a nursing home/home health or any setting w/ elderly? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Continuation of Q1. If you have not, share your experiences when you are around older family members? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #OTalk https://t.co/k023UZfzrU |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT So q1. Is really a long question. I put it in 2 tweets. #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @BillWongOT I have visited care homes both as a carer and as an OT #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @BillWongOT And I regularly visit elderly people in their homes #otalk |
| @RyanThomure @BillWongOT I work in geriatric home health! #OTalk | |
 | Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads Evening all! I've got a cuppa but also still working so will prob mostly be just watching tonight's chat unfold... #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Part 2 of question 1 #otalk https://t.co/6ipv33wQTG |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And for my answer, I obviously am working in nursing home setting. Now I just recently transferred to one with less older patients. #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Before working in nursing home, my extensive encounters with elderly are at church. #OTalk |
| Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads @BillWongOT I work currently work in older people's mental health. Occasionally visit people in care homes but more usually in own home #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ And what was your observations #OTalk https://t.co/JH71Oh2bL2 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @NorwoodThreads: @BillWongOT I work currently work in older people's mental health. Occasionally visit people in care homes but more… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Good question- I never thought I would end up in geriatrics when I was qualified, I did not really take much notes of their issues. #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @BillWongOT I have an elderly grandparent who lives alone who is still active for his age but struggles to find suitable occupations! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @carrie_sant: @BillWongOT I have an elderly grandparent who lives alone who is still active for his age but struggles to find suitable o… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Q2. Have any of your perceptions about elderly/aging changed once you started OT school? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Great observation skills there Bill. Was the church accessible? Were the wooden pews hard to sit on? #otalk https://t.co/Ndhp7H6gX4 |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @BillWongOT I have more awareness of the value of continuing to engage in meaningful occupation and its impact on health and wellbeing #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ We recently went through renovation of the parish hall's bathrooms to make them accessible. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Really interesting - do our occupational interest as we age? #otalk https://t.co/xSuYEaxeJ3 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #otalk https://t.co/qbnOHdxppk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ For those who have mobility issues (e.g climbing stairs), the communion wine and bread will come to where they are instead to altar. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @carrie_sant: @BillWongOT I have more awareness of the value of continuing to engage in meaningful occupation and its impact on h… |

| Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads @BillWongOT Some older people at my church remind me of my pts. I have to try not to use what my husband calls my 'talking to patients' voice! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT To answer my own question- the first thing was realizing that I don't have my youth forever. Must make life meaningful! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @NorwoodThreads: @BillWongOT Some older people at my church remind me of my pts. I have to try not to use what my husband calls my '… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Hi @ailieturton welcome but you need to use the # #otalk in very tweet so people can see what your saying! https://t.co/Qu99v3N5sm |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Very sad to hear that #OTalk https://t.co/WcVd0y3HRl |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Another thing was that I eliminated the stereotype of nursing homes are for people 65+! #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @BillWongOT Agreed! I am much more aware of making the most out of my life whilst I have good physical and mental health and that this can change #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @carrie_sant: @BillWongOT Agreed! I am much more aware of making the most out of my life whilst I have good physical and mental h… |
| @RyanThomure @BillWongOT Good takeaway. I realized that many/most of my patients used to be as active as I am. U can't just exercise your way out of aging! #OTalk | |
| Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads @BillWongOT And keeping active - really notice the difference between my patients who have and this who haven't #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @carrie_sant Yes- so aside from my life's bucket list, I also have a career one. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @arthomure: @BillWongOT Good takeaway. I realized that many/most of my patients used to be as active as I am. U can't just exer… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @NorwoodThreads: @BillWongOT And keeping active - really notice the difference between my patients who have and this who haven't #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant I think it's the most simple adaptations or considerations that enable people to still participate and feel included #otalk https://t.co/D5zyBvqV4N |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Yes it's not just the elderly that needs nursing care! What other conditions /health issues have you seen #OTalk https://t.co/9zFue43Lzz |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Last thing- for older folks who live good full lives, got to be appreciative of their presence to provide life lessons. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @carrie_sant: I think it's the most simple adaptations or considerations that enable people to still participate and feel include… |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @BillWongOT What's in your career plan @BillWongOT? I have just applied for my masters! 😳 #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #OTalk https://t.co/GuHc3BFgwj |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @carrie_sant Yes- and some people access to church via transport services! They are much needed! #otalk |
| @RyanThomure @NorwoodThreads @BillWongOT But at the same time, many patients of mine who led extremely active lives have ended up with physical difficulties regardless. #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @carrie_sant I crossed off one item recently- getting to go to all major OT conferences at least once- RCOT, AOTA, CAOT, and Australia. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @carrie_sant I will transition into academia. Now... not yet! #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @BillWongOT I have found younger people living in nursing homes are rarely happy or satisfied with their environment and qol #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Switching gears now, how would you define aging in place in a tweet? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Interesting point! #OTalk https://t.co/y0LV2htlbp |
| Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads @arthomure @BillWongOT True. I wasn't clear - sorry - I didn't just mean physically active, but meaningfully engaged - family/community/hobbies etc. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk https://t.co/W7Wvdew6uo |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT Going to start writing mine now! #OTalk #inspired |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Why do you think this is @carrie_sant ? #OTalk https://t.co/25ktDkoFGz |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #otalk https://t.co/EGMdw2eNDT |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] Agreed! So many services offering different things but nothing is joined and difficult to know what's out there or how to access! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @carrie_sant True- but sometimes they are stuck there. 🙁 One time I had a patient who ended up in 1 cuz her boyfriend shot her while pregnant. #otalk |
| Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads [REDACTED USER] I find this really frustrating too! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @carrie_sant: [REDACTED USER] Agreed! So many services offering different things but nothing is joined and difficult to know what's… |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @OTalk_ Reasons they have given are feeling socially isolated, lack of activities and not feeling as though they belong there #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @carrie_sant: @OTalk_ Reasons they have given are feeling socially isolated, lack of activities and not feeling as though they belong th… |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @BillWongOT There should be a wider range of living environments and care packages available to meet individual needs #otalk |
| Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] And just when you find something perfect out there the funding is cut/volunteer retires or moves away! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ We are halfway through tonight's #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT My own answer- abilities to participate in meaningful activities at places they desire to belong at no matter what. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @carrie_sant: @BillWongOT There should be a wider range of living environments and care packages available to meet individual needs #ota… |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @NorwoodThreads [REDACTED USER] Or your particular client can't access due to their funds, transport, physical health /mental health or other barriers! #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Just to note- the reason why I made question 3 because my TEDx content reviewers had trouble understanding what it is. #OTalk #advocacy |
| @RyanThomure @carrie_sant @BillWongOT @NorwoodThreads [REDACTED USER] Yes! I work a couple different neighborhoods and some ppl will buy anything I tell them might improve their lives, some just can't. #OTalk | |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @OTalk_ I think ageing in place has to include aging in relation to a persons time, culture and environment as all this will play a huge part #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @arthomure: @carrie_sant @BillWongOT @NorwoodThreads [REDACTED USER] Yes! I work a couple different neighborhoods and some ppl wi… |

| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @arthomure @BillWongOT @NorwoodThreads [REDACTED USER] I find the same. For some people the smallest barriers are too large whilst for others there are no barriers they cannot overcome! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @carrie_sant @OTalk_ Definitely! I don't work in home health. But I can imagine more so when I go to an elderly person's home. #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @arthomure @BillWongOT @NorwoodThreads [REDACTED USER] I am doing a coaching course to help me help people identify how to move past their perceived barriers #otalk #career goals @BillWongOT |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @carrie_sant @arthomure @NorwoodThreads [REDACTED USER] Yes- I soon realized that for some folks, even a step in stairs can take a lot out of them. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ For us British OT's bill what do you mean by home health? #otalk https://t.co/5IIFGCldFx |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @BillWongOT @OTalk_ It can be incredibly difficult not knowing what you will be walking in to and incorporating so much into an initial ax! #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I often find the perception of old age is to sit in a chair and be taken care of and so they do - regardless of whether they need to #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Q4. What have you identified at your home that you think might be needed to improve your/your family's abilities to age in place? #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Or culturally family are expected to care for older relatives - again regardless of their needs #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ It's an outpatient service where some patients might receive rehab services 2 or so times a week. #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ And whether in a NH, CH or own home has a massive impact on 'how' someone ages because of all we have discussed #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Oh ok, #OTalk thanks https://t.co/nAPfqERK60 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @carrie_sant: [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Or culturally family are expected to care for older relatives - again regardless of their needs #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #otalk https://t.co/z7w7bYVxRr |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I did it earlier. I purposely did not throw jargon into that definition. #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Yes...I work with tech for older adults and it is becoming more popular as the recognise it's role in maintaining independence #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I did not use jargon because I think it's important for us to have a definition that public can understand. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] And we also discussed what our definitions are in earlier question. #otalk |
| Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Yes! I often hear "it's just part of getting old" even though it doesn't have to be/isn't necessarily what they want to be doing #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Answer to my own question- stair lift (to access upstairs), rearrange downstairs (if both parents have mobility issues in future) #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Only 10 minute left of tonight's #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @BillWongOT Planning for the future! My parents will need to move at some point or will struggle to remain in their own home. #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @NorwoodThreads [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ But then some people can be the exact opposite and fight age every step of the way! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] For me, my parents don't have to worry about community things much. Church and markets are close by! #otalk |
| Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads [REDACTED USER] @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Yes! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ When my 96 year old nan was in a care home- she talked about the other residents as 'old' she was one of the oldest people there!! #OTALK https://t.co/cv0N1xjE8U |
| Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Absolutely! #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @OTalk_ Love it! Age is just a number!! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Last but not least question- any feedback and comment of this "historic" TEDx talk for our profession? 🤓 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTalk_: When my 96 year old nan was in a care home- she talked about the other residents as 'old' she was one of the oldest… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk 5 minute warning! Any final thoughts? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT For those of you who are new to #otalk, why I say historic because it's the first time anyone in OT who has done TED twice! #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] agree! My own family were all discussing worries about my grandad and planning his future...I was the only one who asked him! #otalk |

| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] Turns out he had his own plans which definitely didn't fit in with what was being discussed! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @carrie_sant: [REDACTED USER] Turns out he had his own plans which definitely didn't fit in with what was being discussed! #otalk |
| Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT Including access to property that will accept beloved pets #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @NorwoodThreads: [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT Including access to property that will accept beloved pets #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant [REDACTED USER] I just don't think it had occurred to anyone else to actually ask him - OT way of thinking maybe? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT My own take away when I prepared this presentation was- it's quite shocking to know that there is a younger crowd in nursing home! #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Another takeaway was- we can't take our youth for granted! It's never too early to think about aging! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ That's it times up!! Thanks @BillWongOT for hosting and all you lot for joining in. #OTalk this is [REDACTED USER] signing off |
