| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: I’m Theresa and I care for my Dad who is 98. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving Hi Everyone! Grateful to be here today! I help my parents and family caregivers in my work. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Hi Denise! Glad you are here! #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @SustainableCG I'm looking forward to today's #carechat! |
 | Matt Perrin @matt_perrin Hi #carechat. I'm Matt. Care for Mom who's living with ALZ and part of my FIL's care team as he lives with Lewy Body Dementia. Glad to have made it today! |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG We'll get started with Q1. What is your goto routine that helps you better manage your caregiving responsibilities? #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving @matt_perrin Thanks so much for being here, Matt!! Good to see you! #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Hi Matt! #carechat |
 | Jinesh Jani @Jhjani09 This is Jinesh Jani #carechat |
 | Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad Deb here I care for my mom #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @Jhjani09 Welcome Jinesh! #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Hi Deb! Glad you are here! #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A1. While not really a routine, it's a strategy that helps me. I do my best to remember to "offer and suggest" ideas and resources to my parents. They decide if the offer and suggestion will work for them. Helpful to keep us all in a healthy place. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @advocatemomdad: Deb here I care for my mom #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @Jhjani09: This is Jinesh Jani #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @Jhjani09 Welcome Jinesh!! How's your week so far? #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @advocatemomdad Hi Deb! Good to see you! #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @caregiving I love that! I think that reminder will go onto my calendar! #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG A1. I have two routines that keep the wheels from coming off. First, a morning and evening checklist that includes Dad’s meds, meals and cleaning sweep of his areas. The second is an eating routine that keeps moods and blood sugar even. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @Jhjani09 Always so nice to have a long weekend. #carechat |
| Matt Perrin @matt_perrin A1: Both routine's for my Mom and FIL revolve heavily around meals. Meal, activity, rest and repeat. Personally, I have a love/hate relationship with 'the routine'. Big challenge for me as a #caregiver. #carechat |

| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad A1. When I am mom's caregiver I know the days I am with her what day I manage her meds, pay her bills, go grocery shopping etc. This way it allows me to fit in additional tasks but still ensure the "must do's" get done. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @matt_perrin What do you love about it? And, what do you hate about it? (So helpful to hear these perspectives, Matt.) #carechat |

| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @matt_perrin I know what you mean about the love hate relationship with a routine. I find myself resisting at times. #carechat |

| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q2. When and why have you resisted a routine? #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: Q2. When and why have you resisted a routine? #carechat |
| Jinesh Jani @Jhjani09 A1 My current caregiving responsibilities are not as intense. One routine I have is to speak to my parents everyday to check and understand all of their dr appointments. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @advocatemomdad It helps me better manage the unexpected also! #carechat |
| Matt Perrin @matt_perrin @caregiving Love the comfort it provides for our parents. And for us a lot of the time too. Hate the monotony of it and how it makes our world feel so small and circular. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving Q2. Right now, I'm resisting the routine of walking every day. I've been so worn out lately that I'm having a hard time finding the energy. The regular walk, though, is good for me --body and soul. #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving @Jhjani09 I do that, too! Very helpful routine for all of us. #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving @matt_perrin So well said. I totally get that. #carechat |

| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @caregiving It is so true that it takes energy to take care of ourselves and reenergize. A real challenge! #carechat |
| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad A2. Oh I resisted even setting a routine when I first became mom's caregiver! If I set a routine, then this new life was REAL and mine going forward. #carechat |
| Jinesh Jani @Jhjani09 A2 The reason I find myself resisting to a routine sometimes is because I take upon myself if something goes working due to the reasons which are out of my control. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @Jhjani09 That is a meaningful routine! #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @advocatemomdad I can totally relate! It was as if by accepting the routine i was accepting the role I wasn't ready to accept. #carechat |

| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q3. What benefits have you experienced from developing and following routines? #carechat |
| Matt Perrin @matt_perrin A2: Don't have a good answer for this one. Nothing acute that I've been resisting. I am actively looking for ways to evolve the routine though...to break some of the afore mentioned monotony. #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: Q3. What benefits have you experienced from developing and following routines? #carechat |
| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad Q3. Routines help mom even more than me. She used to ask me when / did you do my pills, shots, etc. etc. Now she knows when it will get done which is comforting to her. She knows she can go into her drawer and fridge and see the fruits of my labor :) #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A3. I find comfort in routines. With routines, I feel more in control which helps lessen my stress. #carechat |
| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad RT @caregiving: A3. I find comfort in routines. With routines, I feel more in control which helps lessen my stress. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG A3. One benefit was that I gained control over how I spend my time and as a result, have more time at the end of each day. I am acting rather than reacting and can better manage the unexpected crises. #carechat |
| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad Acting rather than reacting - love it! |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving @SustainableCG That is so true! The routines do protect our time by giving us more time. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @advocatemomdad Dad appreciates the routines as well. He looks forward to the consistent interaction. #carechat |

| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q4. What obstacles get in the way of your routines?#carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q4. What obstacles get in the way of your routines? #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG A4. When schedules get hectic it is tempting to go rogue and toss the routines, but I’m getting better at modifying and protecting them with back up plans. #carechat |
| Matt Perrin @matt_perrin A3: Sanity. 🤣. So much to manage. Then there's our life outside of caring (3 girls 12, 9 and 7) etc. Without routines we'd be sunk. Question we explore lots is how can we retain the value of routine while making it feel a little *less* routine. #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: Q4. What obstacles get in the way of your routines? #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @matt_perrin That is a good question! Maybe, have different versions of each routine... #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving Q4. My energy level is definitely an obstacle. Sometimes, the energy to keep my routines is just not there. #carechat |
| Matt Perrin @matt_perrin Truth. |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @ManuelS54715767 Welcome Manuel! #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @caregiving It does take a lot of energy to keep the routines, both physical and emotional. #carechat |
| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad A4. Mom and I work hard to spend time with family/friends in her home, go out to dinner etc. So she is not feeling so isolated. Last night she told me we are hosting Easter for 12 -15 people. I love it, but I have to plan for how that additional work fits our routine. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q5. Was there a time that you discarded a routine? Why? What happened? #carechat |
| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad RT @caregiving: Q4. My energy level is definitely an obstacle. Sometimes, the energy to keep my routines is just not there. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @advocatemomdad That is wonderful and a big project to fit into the schedule! #carechat |
| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad A5. When dad was hospitalized mom's routine and mine was thrown out the window. That's when I learned to ask for and say yes to help. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG I had been consistently communicating in a notebook with Dad’s aide and decided that verbal communication was adequate. Life got busy and the result was zero communication which led to disaster. #carechat |

| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q6. What do you do to protect your routines? #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @SustainableCG Wow. You would think that the verbal communication would be enough. So frustrating when a disaster happens. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: Q6. What do you do to protect your routines? #carechat |
| Matt Perrin @matt_perrin A4. At the beginning, everything. Now, almost nothing. Because routine is our lifeblood and key to Mom and FIL's comfort and fulfillment. Routine has become the immovable object that gets in the way of everything else. #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving A6. Communication has been the best way for me to keep routines. I share the importance of the routines so everyone respects them. I then learn about the routines important to my parents and respect those routines. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @matt_perrin The routine can feel like it takes on a life of its own, controlling the day's activities. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q7. What would you tell your younger caregiver self about routines? #carechat |
| Matt Perrin @matt_perrin A6: We've learned to say no. and learned to get comfortable with doing so. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving I've learned that exhaustion totally destroys my healthy eating. I've been following the 16-hour intermittent fasting which has been so much easier for me. It's a routine I can keep regardless of my energy level. #carechat |
| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad A6. Have an honest discussion with mom at the start of our weekends about what I can and can't get done on her list. Talk about who else can do it. Is this a need or want? Is this a "No, but" No, I can't get to the grocery store a 2nd time, but I'll go during the week. #carechat |

 | Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer Joining late but happy to catch the end! #carechat |
| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad Q7. Give yourself Grace. Modifying or even ending a routine that no longer serves you is OK. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG A6. I try to have a back up plan for the routines. It might involve my husband or our aide taking the responsibility. If my self-care, stay-sane routine will be disrupted, I have modified substitutions #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer A7: Routines aren't restrictive, they're actually resources for the times when all you can do is go through the motions. #carechat |

| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @matt_perrin Same here! It's so important to feel comfortable enough/free to say no. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG A7. Embrace the routine! You will have more time for you and reduce resentment that comes when you are constantly putting your needs last. #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @matt_perrin Hey Matt! Good to see you! #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A7. Routines change with priorities and vice versa. Aligning priorities and routines often can be really helpful. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @MichelleSeitzer I was resistant to this truth in the beginning and it would have made things easier. #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @SustainableCG Hi Theresa! Glad to be here, albeit late! #carechat |

| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @caregiving YES!!! Great way to say it. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @caregiving Great point! The routine can be a hindrance if not changed for a new reality. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG RT @caregiving: A7. Routines change with priorities and vice versa. Aligning priorities and routines often can be really helpful. #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @SustainableCG Same! But my daughter, who is SO routine-bound, really needed me to stay there! I understand that now. :) #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @MichelleSeitzer I have become quite fascinated with priorities lately. If I focus on priorities, I feel like "I want to" rather than "I have to." #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @caregiving I can relate. Healthy eating is the first thing to go when I am exhausted. #carechat |

| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer A8: Recently, I've set timers on my phone to remind me when to leave for my daughter's school pickup/outpatient therapy services. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @matt_perrin So true! "Routine is your friend." It did seem like the enemy in the beginning. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A8. I have been meaning to do this one (which sounds so simple): Take time to stretch throughout the day. The movement will be helpful. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @MichelleSeitzer: A8: A8: Recently, I've set timers on my phone to remind me when to leave for my daughter's school pickup/outpatient therapy services. #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @caregiving YES! I love that. The mindset shift makes a huge difference. I've been focused on seasons lately and that's helped me in similar ways—in terms of, "it's not the season for that now, but it doesn't mean it will never be." #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG A8. I need a new routine for Dad's meds. It's a work in progress. #carechat |

| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer A8: Setting the timers has helped me manage my time better and feel less like I'm rushing around/always late. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @MichelleSeitzer I remind myself regularly of something similar. I also am generous with myself about my decisions, telling myself, "Right now, this is what I need." The "right now" feels permissive. #carechat |

| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @caregiving Yes!!! I love that, and it's so true. Giving ourselves permission instead of "condemning" ourselves with "should haves" or "wish I coulds" makes for a healthier caregiving mindset. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @matt_perrin Thanks Matt! You too! #carechat |

| Emily Borg ✨🦋🌿 @WellnessEmerald RT @caregiving: A3. I find comfort in routines. With routines, I feel more in control which helps lessen my stress. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @MichelleSeitzer Exactly! Keeps us open to possibilities, too. #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @SustainableCG Yes! I also tend to "use" my free work time (free as in when she's at school!) up to the very last minute. ;) #carechat |
| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad RT @MichelleSeitzer: @caregiving Yes!!! I love that, and it's so true. Giving ourselves permission instead of "condemning" ourselves with "should haves" or "wish I coulds" makes for a healthier caregiving mindset. #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer RT @caregiving: A3. I find comfort in routines. With routines, I feel more in control which helps lessen my stress. #carechat |

| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @SustainableCG I'm sorry I missed the beginning of the chat...I love talking about routines! Great discussion, Theresa! #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG RT @advocatemomdad: A6. Have an honest discussion with mom at the start of our weekends about what I can and can't get done on her list. Talk about who else can do it. Is this a need or want? Is this a "No, but" No, I can't get to the grocery store a 2nd time, but I'll go during the week. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG RT @caregiving: A6. Communication has been the best way for me to keep routines. I share the importance of the routines so everyone respects them. I then learn about the routines important to my parents and respect those routines. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG RT @advocatemomdad: A4. Mom and I work hard to spend time with family/friends in her home, go out to dinner etc. So she is not feeling so isolated. Last night she told me we are hosting Easter for 12 -15 people. I love it, but I have to plan for how that additional work fits our routine. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @MichelleSeitzer Thanks Michelle! I'm glad you made it! #carechat |
