 | Hannah Silcock @scrumpess #OTalk hello |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @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, OTRL @billwongot Continuation of Q1. If you have not, share your experiences when you are around older family members? #OTalk |
 | Becky Evans @bevans_ot @OTalk_ Listening in today! #OTalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ Question 1 #OTalk https://t.co/k023UZfzrU |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot So q1. Is really a long question. I put it in 2 tweets. #OTalk |

 | Ryan Thomure @arthomure @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, OTRL @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 |
| OTalk @otalk_ RT @BillWongOT: And for my answer, I obviously am working in nursing home setting. Now I just recently transferred to one with less older p… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @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 |
 | bob collins @bobcollinsot #OTalk I have elderly parents who live 4 hours drive away. https://t.co/J8IOISZUnA |
| Becky Evans @bevans_ot @BillWongOT Had a placement in an activity day program, which was mostly older adults recovering from stroke #OTalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ And what was your observations #OTalk https://t.co/JH71Oh2bL2 |
| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess #OTalk not in a NH but in various acute and community settings |

| OTalk @otalk_ RT @BEvans_OT: @BillWongOT Had a placement in an activity day program, which was mostly older adults recovering from stroke #OTalk |
| Rachael Cort-Wright @cortrachael I have, I worked as a HCA in a nursing home before my OT days #OTalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ RT @Scrumpess: #OTalk not in a NH but in various acute and community settings |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @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 @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, OTRL @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, OTRL @billwongot Q2. Have any of your perceptions about elderly/aging changed once you started OT school? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot RT @CortRachael: I have, I worked as a HCA in a nursing home before my OT days #OTalk |
| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess #OTalk it can be difficult when discharging from hospital if a patient can't go home and scary for the person |
| 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 @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, OTRL @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, OTRL @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 |

 | Emma Cavanagh @emmaotstudent #OTalk I spent many years working in a nursing/residential home. During my time there I never met an Occupational Therapist 🙁 |

| 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, OTRL @billwongot To answer my own question- the first thing was realizing that I don't have my youth forever. Must make life meaningful! #otalk |

| 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 |
 | Susan Windeatt @mooartdotcom @OTalk_ #Otalk Good Q - have had older adults tell me they miss services for sensory reasons (cannot see/hear) even if mobility access ok https://t.co/OrxgZtxQm1 |
| OTalk @otalk_ Very sad to hear that #OTalk https://t.co/WcVd0y3HRl |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot Another thing was that I eliminated the stereotype of nursing homes are for people 65+! #otalk |
| Clarissa @geekyot @EmmaOTstudent not a clinical area I'm familiar with. Is this common? #otalk |
| Carrie Sant @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, OTRL @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… |
| Ryan Thomure @arthomure @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 |
 | Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @BillWongOT i did a placement (pre OT degree) in a residential home #otalk |
| Susan Windeatt @mooartdotcom #OTalk Q1 - I had an emerging role student placement in a nursing home. It was extremely challenging. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @carrie_sant Yes- so aside from my life's bucket list, I also have a career one. #otalk |
| Clarissa @geekyot @Scrumpess @EmmaOTstudent Hi there, remember to use the #otalk hashtag, otherwise your tweets won't show in the chat :) |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @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, OTRL @billwongot RT @NorwoodThreads: @BillWongOT And keeping active - really notice the difference between my patients who have and this who haven't #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot a tad late.. but here for #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot RT @kerri_schOT: @BillWongOT i did a placement (pre OT degree) in a residential home #otalk |
| Carrie Sant @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 |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @carrie_sant: @BillWongOT I have more awareness of the value of continuing to engage in meaningful occupation and its impact on h… |
| Clarissa @geekyot @mooartdotcom What did you find particularly challenging? #otalk |
| 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 |
| Clarissa @geekyot @kerri_schOT Better late than never :) :) #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot Last thing- for older folks who live good full lives, got to be appreciative of their presence to provide life lessons. #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @BillWongOT just how meaningful occupations are to elderly people #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @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 @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 |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @EmmaOTstudent @BillWongOT such a shame, but a regular occurrence I think #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @carrie_sant Yes- and some people access to church via transport services! They are much needed! #otalk |
| Rachael Cort-Wright @cortrachael @OTalk_ They have activity co-ordinators on low pay but could do with an OT assessing clients' functional levels to check they can take part #OTalk |
| Ryan Thomure @arthomure @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, OTRL @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, OTRL @billwongot @carrie_sant I will transition into academia. Now... not yet! #otalk |
| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess @BillWongOT @carrie_sant #otalk we spend so much of our lives in work, we definitely need a career bucket list as much as a personal one! |

| bob collins @bobcollinsot #Otalk Having graduated, I have more understanding of my parents occupational needs but frustrated they're not well met by local services https://t.co/HOKc86B8y4 |

| Carrie Sant @carrie_sant @BillWongOT I have found younger people living in nursing homes are rarely happy or satisfied with their environment and qol #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @OTalk_: Yes it's not just the elderly that needs nursing care! What other conditions /health issues have you seen #OTalk https://t.co/… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @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, OTRL @billwongot #otalk https://t.co/W7Wvdew6uo |
| Carrie Sant @carrie_sant @Scrumpess @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 |
| Susan Windeatt @mooartdotcom @GeekyOT #OTalk Everything! Maybe finding meaningful occupation in an environ where engagement with own care is minimised by nursing needs https://t.co/BxpeP6DH3i |
| Carrie Sant @carrie_sant @bobcollinsOT 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, OTRL @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 @bobcollinsOT I find this really frustrating too! #OTalk |

| Carrie Sant @carrie_sant @OTalk_ Reasons they have given are feeling socially isolated, lack of activities and not feeling as though they belong there #otalk |
| Rachael Cort-Wright @cortrachael @OTalk_ @carrie_sant Maybe because of the lack of meaningful activity. Sometimes a client focussed creative approach is needed - not a one size fits all #OTalk |

| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess @carrie_sant @BillWongOT #otalk let us know how it goes. Always good to hear them to get inspiration to think slightly more out of that box! We are OTs after all! |
| Carrie Sant @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 @bobcollinsOT 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, OTRL @billwongot My own answer- abilities to participate in meaningful activities at places they desire to belong at no matter what. #otalk |

| Becky Evans @bevans_ot @kerri_schOT @BillWongOT It was, but certainly more focused on recreational therapy than OT, I think 6-1 RT-OT, w/approx 60 clients/day...not all had OT #OTalk |
| Rachael Cort-Wright @cortrachael @OTalk_ Q3: Maintaining a holistic active lifestyle within one's capability #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot Just to note- the reason why I made question 3 because my TEDx content reviewers had trouble understanding what it is. #OTalk #advocacy |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot RT @CortRachael: @OTalk_ Q3: Maintaining a holistic active lifestyle within one's capability #OTalk |

| Ryan Thomure @arthomure @carrie_sant @BillWongOT @NorwoodThreads @bobcollinsOT 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 |
 | Nichola Duffy @nnikki_duffy Sorry running late, hi everyone, just catching up #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant @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 |

| Carrie Sant @carrie_sant @arthomure @BillWongOT @NorwoodThreads @bobcollinsOT 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, OTRL @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 |
| Natalie @ot_natalie @carrie_sant @OTalk_ Potential for an 'ageing in place' model there 😉 🤔 👏🏻 #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant @carrie_sant @arthomure @BillWongOT @NorwoodThreads @bobcollinsOT 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, OTRL @billwongot @carrie_sant @arthomure @NorwoodThreads @bobcollinsOT Yes- I soon realized that for some folks, even a step in stairs can take a lot out of them. #otalk |
| Clarissa @geekyot @carrie_sant @OTalk_ Could you expand on this? Sounds like an interesting thought! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot RT @ot_natalie: @carrie_sant @OTalk_ Potential for an 'ageing in place' model there 😉 🤔 👏🏻 #OTalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ For us British OT's bill what do you mean by home health? #otalk https://t.co/5IIFGCldFx |
| Carrie Sant @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 |
| Clarissa @geekyot @ot_natalie @carrie_sant @OTalk_ Does anyone have suggestions for further reading re ageing in place? New term to me #otalk |
| Nichola Duffy @nnikki_duffy @carrie_sant @OTalk_ my experience is that the physical and social environment are key to supporting identity & engagement #otalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ RT @GeekyOT: @ot_natalie @carrie_sant @OTalk_ Does anyone have suggestions for further reading re ageing in place? New term to me #otalk |
| Carrie Sant @carrie_sant @GeekyOT @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, OTRL @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 @carrie_sant @GeekyOT @OTalk_ Or culturally family are expected to care for older relatives - again regardless of their needs #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @CortRachael: @OTalk_ @carrie_sant Maybe because of the lack of meaningful activity. Sometimes a client focussed creative approac… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @OTalk_ It's an outpatient service where some patients might receive rehab services 2 or so times a week. #otalk |
| Carrie Sant @carrie_sant @GeekyOT @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 |
| Nichola Duffy @nnikki_duffy @carrie_sant @GeekyOT @OTalk_ do you think culture is changing? #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @CortRachael: @OTalk_ Q3: Maintaining a holistic active lifestyle within one's capability #OTalk |

| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess @carrie_sant @GeekyOT @OTalk_ #otalk it is the same as when patients come in to hospital and autopilot in to pjs! So many "norms" that need ending #endPJparalysis |

| OTalk @otalk_ Question 4 #otalk https://t.co/z7w7bYVxRr |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @Nnikki_Duffy I did it earlier. I purposely did not throw jargon into that definition. #otalk |
| bob collins @bobcollinsot @BillWongOT @carrie_sant 😮 #Otalk |
| Carrie Sant @carrie_sant @Nnikki_Duffy @GeekyOT @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, OTRL @billwongot @Nnikki_Duffy 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, OTRL @billwongot @Nnikki_Duffy And we also discussed what our definitions are in earlier question. #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @BillWongOT access to property for sure #otalk |
| Louise @norwoodthreads @carrie_sant @GeekyOT @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 |
| Nichola Duffy @nnikki_duffy @BillWongOT I'll have a scroll down and look :) #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot Answer to my own question- stair lift (to access upstairs), rearrange downstairs (if both parents have mobility issues in future) #otalk |
| Emma Cavanagh @emmaotstudent Communities sticking together. Local shops, post offices, banks must not close down #OTALK |
| OTalk @otalk_ Only 10 minute left of tonight's #OTalk |
 | Philip Mason @pjmasonot @BillWongOT "Technology" is a tool that many elderly don't have access or skills to use. Given many benefits it offers we need to change this #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot RT @EmmaOTstudent: Communities sticking together. Local shops, post offices, banks must not close down #OTALK |
| bob collins @bobcollinsot #OTalk My parents have moved to a city centre location and my dad can still get to the betting shop; his very most meaningful occupation! https://t.co/4NAr0INoaX |
| Carrie Sant @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 @carrie_sant @NorwoodThreads @GeekyOT @OTalk_ But then some people can be the exact opposite and fight age every step of the way! #otalk |
| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess @NorwoodThreads @carrie_sant @GeekyOT @OTalk_ #otalk or the phrase "don't get old love, it isn't fun" It is often followed up with "well come on then, how can we make it fun?" |

| Natalie @ot_natalie Q4: I think the benefits for pt + family in advance care planning for future scenarios regardless of age or condition are important #OTalk |
| Louise @norwoodthreads @Scrumpess @carrie_sant @GeekyOT @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 |

| OTalk @otalk_ #OTalk 5 minute warning! Any final thoughts? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @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 |

 | Elena Nichols @elenanichols_ RT @kerri_schOT: @BillWongOT just how meaningful occupations are to elderly people #otalk |
| Carrie Sant @carrie_sant @ot_natalie Turns out he had his own plans which definitely didn't fit in with what was being discussed! #otalk |

| Natalie @ot_natalie @carrie_sant I think it can be such a hard conversation to have but definitely one that is worth having whilst that person can communicate ideas #Otalk |
| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess @BillWongOT #otalk #otalk its a great achievement and helps to drive the OT message. We need more! :) |
| Carrie Sant @carrie_sant @ot_natalie I just don't think it had occurred to anyone else to actually ask him - OT way of thinking maybe? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @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 |
| Philip Mason @pjmasonot @Scrumpess @NorwoodThreads @carrie_sant @GeekyOT @OTalk_ It's concerning the amount of people I meet who consider inactivity an inevitable part of aging. Occupational deprivation is rife #OTalk |
