 | Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: Welcome to #CareChat Tuesday! We will be discussing caring midst COVID-19. Who is with us today and who do you care for? |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving So glad you're here today, Sharon! #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving Hi Everyone! Grateful for the opportunity to connect and share with you today. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving I help my parents who are 88 and 85 and live independently about 10 minutes from me. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Hi Sharon! @SRHall419 Welcome! #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG I’m Theresa and I care for my Dad who is 98. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: I’m Theresa and I care for my Dad who is 98. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @caregiving Hi Denise! Glad you are here! #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG We'll get started with the first question. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q1. What has been the biggest change in day to day caregiving since taking COVID-19 precautions? #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: We'll get started with the first question. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: Q1. What has been the biggest change in day to day caregiving since taking COVID-19 precautions? #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG A1. Since we cancelled all of Dad’s doctor’s appointments and eliminated most errands for him, unlike a lot of folks, I have much more unscheduled time, but have managed to fill it up. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A1. Managing the worries has been the challenge for me. We're in a stay-at-home state (IL) and prepared to stay at home. While there's no dash for supplies, there's an uncertainty that haunts the day. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: A1. Since we cancelled all of Dad’s doctor’s appointments and eliminated most errands for him, unlike a lot of folks, I have much more unscheduled time, but have managed to fill it up. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @SRHall419 That has been a big change for us too! #carechat |

| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @caregiving Yes, it is constant and unnerving. #carechat |
 | a.m.k. @URipple2013 do we just keep re-tweeting to keep the thread? Still learning...My mom is 45 minutes away, independent assisted living. No visitors. I drop off food because she is still having to do one meal a day for herself. @caregiving #caregiving Is there another hashtag I should use? |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SRHall419: @SustainableCG #carechat stress is worrying about my son and covid he just had chemo 10 will be the last cacelling 11 and 12 die to covid |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q3. What have you handled well as you have moved into this new existence? #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @SRHall419 @SustainableCG That is such a huge worry, Sharon. How is he feeling? #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: Q2. What is causing you the most stress at the moment? #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @SRHall419 That is stress on top of stress. :( #carechat |
| Sharon Hall @SRHall419 @SustainableCG #carechat A3 been used to cooking every night and living small for years so I handle it well |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A2. How much the world seems to change from moment to moment is stressful. So much about this situation is intangible which makes it really hard. #carechat |

 | JCFullmore @jcf108 #CareChat A2: finding eggs!! I'm making my special pound cakes for my family members who are adhering to stay at home orders. |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG RT @caregiving: A2. How much the world seems to change from moment to moment is stressful. So much about this situation is intangible which makes it really hard. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A3. I feel good about the conversations I've had with my parents. I know their wishes (no hospital) and have stocked up on supplies in their apartment. #carechat |
| a.m.k. @URipple2013 Q2 Not having all of mom's "paperwork" done...funeral plans, what happens if something happens to me...#carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @caregiving It feels like several days worth of changes happen in 24 hours, so hard to keep up with... #carechat |
| JCFullmore @jcf108 #CareChat Q3: I'm doing fine because nothing has changed for me I've been isolated for years now. Helping others not go stir crazy I'm doing more of now. |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A2. Not knowing "when" is another stressor. We don't know the timing around so much of this. Feels like we just always have to be ready and that's exhausting. #carechat |

 | Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer Popping in for a few moments! A1: Adjusting to working from home with my daughter and husband being at home. Learning how to "take turns" caring for her. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @lotus2970 @caregiving That is a very understandable worry. #carechat |

| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer YES! This is a big one for us too. My daughter has handled things well so far but she still thinks after 2 weeks, this is done. Haven't been ready to break the news of the extended "return to school" timeline yet. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @MichelleSeitzer Hi Michelle!! I'm glad you could pop in. Hope you and yours are doing okay. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @MichelleSeitzer: YES! This is a big one for us too. My daughter has handled things well so far but she still thinks after 2 weeks, this is done. Haven't been ready to break the news of the extended "return to school" timeline yet. #carechat |
| a.m.k. @URipple2013 Q3: nothing. Work has been a disaster, keeping us going but suspending our jobs; have roommates who do not exercise care in their sanitation...worried sick about my mother adn trying not to show it. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @URipple2013: Q3: Q3: nothing. Work has been a disaster, keeping us going but suspending our jobs; have roommates who do not exercise care in their sanitation...worried sick about my mother adn trying not to show it. #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @caregiving Thank you! We are doing our best! #carechat |
| JCFullmore @jcf108 @caregiving Thank you first Tuesday morning in a long time I've a moment to sit!! #Carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @URipple2013 That is a concern we had as well and finished up a few details. Maybe you could do some preparation without risk of exposure? #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @URipple2013 So hard when so much is completely out of our control. #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer That's great! |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q4. What positive outcome has developed for you or your caree as a result of a modified way of life? #carechat |
| Sharon Hall @SRHall419 #carechat for dementia care partners our podcadt will discuss handling dementia and Covid https://t.co/BMuoT44XHn |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @lotus2970 @SustainableCG Just the nagging is exhausting! #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG A3. I have had several good conversations with the neighbors about why we aren’t allowing visitors and have encourage them to practice physical distancing and have reinforced that we have to look out for each other and that means no more hugging. #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer A3: I'm actually surprised by how well we've adapted...but we're still only 1.5 weeks in. Keeping an open mind! ;) #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @SRHall419 What a timely, much-needed resource, Sharon. #carechat |

| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @URipple2013 It is so stressful worrying about everyone. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @jcf108 Wish that already was a common occurrence for you. Hopefully, the check-ins will continue. #carechat |
| JCFullmore @jcf108 @lotus2970 @SustainableCG @caregiving SOOO sorry for your loss! I know it's doubly difficult for you in these times where the world is so distracted and focused on their own needs. Sending you prayers. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @jcf108 Yes, reconnecting with family and friends has been a positive for us too. #carechat |
 | Lauren Holder @laurencurehd @SustainableCG Unfortunately I can't go see my dad since I work at a hospital and he's very high risk, so my mother is having to do all the caregiving right now. I'm trying to help with getting them telehealth visits. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG A4. Years ago, I put away several notebooks that Dad had used to document and sketch events and his thoughts from 1985 - 2010. I am reading them to him. He forgot that he wrote them and is fascinated, lol. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: @jcf108 Yes, reconnecting with family and friends has been a positive for us too. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q5. What have you learned about yourself as a caregiver since wading into this uncharted territory? #carechat |
| Lauren Holder @laurencurehd @SustainableCG I feel pretty useless atm #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving @laurencurehd @SustainableCG Thank you so much for joining us, Lauren! #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @laurencurehd @SustainableCG Awful to feel useless when we're so used to being able to fix and solve and resolve. #carechat |

| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @MichelleSeitzer We are also trying to figure out the best way to all be in the same space, all the time. It's not easy. #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: Q5. What have you learned about yourself as a caregiver since wading into this uncharted territory? #carechat |
| JCFullmore @jcf108 #CareChat Q5: that I'm highly blessed to be patient and adaptable and disciplined all of which is honed through being a caregiver. |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @laurencurehd I get that. It is an odd place to be and hard to know if we are spending our time in the right way. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A5. This isn't a realization really about me but: I'm reminded of the courage family caregivers gather every day to face their realities. The reality right now is difficult. Yet, every day, millions get up and face the difficulties head-on. #carechat |

| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @jcf108 So true that your experience and skills as a caregiver are very useful at the moment. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @jcf108 So true! The skills you need every day are the skills that truly help you during times like this. #carechat |

| a.m.k. @URipple2013 Okay...in an effort to contribute something positive....I sent out an email to a few dozen cousins asking them to call my mother at 10 or at 2. I asked them to sign up for a day or time on any day for a month and let me know. Most were grateful #CareChat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @caregiving Very well said! #carechat |

| JCFullmore @jcf108 @caregiving #carechat so true our reality can help and inspire the whole world now. We're living in the time where the last shall be first. |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q6. What obstacle in the last few weeks has caused the greatest challenge to you as a caregiver? #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @URipple2013 Love this! What an awesome idea. #carechat |

| Moira Stilwell @DrMoiraStilwell @Trualta everyday heroes. |
| a.m.k. @URipple2013 @lotus2970 @SustainableCG @caregiving @MichelleSeitzer I can only call mom and EVERY time...she has to hang up to go to the bathroom! At least we have something to laugh about...#carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @URipple2013 That is wonderful! I am stealing that idea! ;) #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: Q6. What obstacle in the last few weeks has caused the greatest challenge to you as a caregiver? #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer YES! #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @URipple2013 @lotus2970 @SustainableCG @caregiving I love that! Finding the humor! #carechat |

| a.m.k. @URipple2013 @lotus2970 @SustainableCG @caregiving I so wish this were my job...having to work full time and take care of mom's business and take care of my business and and and....well you all know...#carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @lotus2970 @caregiving It helps me also to remind myself that this is exactly where I am supposed to be. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: @lotus2970 @caregiving It helps me also to remind myself that this is exactly where I am supposed to be. #carechat |
| JCFullmore @jcf108 #CareChat Q6: a few times something happened where there was a close call needing to take mom to hospital something I truly want to avoid during this pandemic. Fortunately so far so good! |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG A6. Keeping Dad safe is the objective of our plan and he has been the greatest obstacle to execution. We relented a few times when he insisted that we run out and get non-essential items for him. That is over, btw. #Carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @jcf108 Fingers crossed that continues. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @MichelleSeitzer Needed now more than ever! #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @matt_perrin @caregiving @SustainableCG @Jhjani09 @bayliss_j94 @advocatemomdad @RosannePodcast @ChrisLicodo @yourgpsdoc @SRHall419 @LoraKaelber You'll be missed, Matt. How are you holding up? And your dear ones? #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving A6. I'm trying to avoid borrowing trouble but I do worry about a fall or some other incident. We cannot go the hospital. I did remind my mom that she can't fall. 🙏#carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @SustainableCG YES! I'm making it work, but I do miss the predictable quiet times. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @URipple2013 @lotus2970 @caregiving So many layers of responsibility... #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @SustainableCG In fact, both my daughter and my husband are currently hovering around my desk! And I even have my own office in our new home! #carechat |

| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @caregiving I'm going to try that with Dad, remind him that he can't fall! #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @MichelleSeitzer @SustainableCG It's because you are the teapot of the home, offering warmth and comfort. #carechat |
| a.m.k. @URipple2013 6 feet....#carechat #pandemic !! yikes. So hard... |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer Yes! It's one of the silver linings of this whole thing. It's been encouraging to see my own growth as a caregiver...not sure I'd be handling this as well if it happened a few years ago. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q7. What gives you comfort during your day in this time of uncertainty? #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @MichelleSeitzer: Yes! It's one of the silver linings of this whole thing. It's been encouraging to see my own growth as a caregiver...not sure I'd be handling this as well if it happened a few years ago. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: Q7. What gives you comfort during your day in this time of uncertainty? #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @caregiving Praying that she stands firm and stays balanced! Such a worry for you all! #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @caregiving @SustainableCG Aww, I love that!!! Thanks, Denise! #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @lotus2970 @caregiving I say it's like Groundhog Day here, a new day, same script, lol. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A7. Writing gives me comfort and so does talking on the phone. I've spent more time on the phone these past few weeks that probably the last year. It helps to check in and talk out the news of the day. #carechat |
| a.m.k. @URipple2013 streaming "returning the favor" on FB. Ridiculous. But, makes me happy #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @URipple2013 It's very hard! My daughter has some ODD tendencies, so the more you tell her to stay away, the more she leans in. It's almost like a reflex for her. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @URipple2013: streaming "returning the favor" on FB. Ridiculous. But, makes me happy #carechat |
| JCFullmore @jcf108 #CareChat Q7: I have comfort knowing God has prepared me to handle stress and anxiety and we have shelter food and clothes - more than many during these challenging times. |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer YES! #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @URipple2013 I don't know that. Will check it out! #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer Amen to that! #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A7. I started watching "Riding in Cars with Comedians" which is so funny and interesting. That's been very calming and a nice break. #carechat |
| a.m.k. @URipple2013 A friend who is also working with dementia patients encourages caregivers to write the answers to commonly repeated questions on the wall...post it or whatever, like "what time is dinner/the news/my shower...et al #CareChat |

| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @caregiving I'm actually finding myself a little burned out on all the tech connectivity! Grandparents wanting to stay in touch, etc. It's wonderful, but there's a balance. And right now, it feels a little out of balance for this natural introvert! ;) #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @caregiving Same! I set up Zoom calls with cousins, 26 of them, and seeing their faces is comforting. #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @caregiving That's such a fun show! And the episodes are short so it's a perfect break! #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @URipple2013 I like to think of it as "automating" communication. Helpful for the person with the dementia and for the family caregiver. #carechat |
| a.m.k. @URipple2013 @SustainableCG @caregiving We did a cousin Zumba class on Sunday!! So much fun...but my calves hurt!! I have never used Zoom before. So worth it... #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer I like that! In many cases, the person is looking for connection and reassurance though. This could help, but they still need that sense of "felt safety." Even more so now, as things feel so uncertain and unsafe. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @MichelleSeitzer @caregiving My screen time has been up and I think it's definitely adding stress. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @MichelleSeitzer Exactly! 15 minutes is the perfect amount of time. Jerry is also very engaging -- he really connects with the viewer in such a lovely way. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @SustainableCG: @MichelleSeitzer @caregiving My screen time has been up and I think it's definitely adding stress. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG Q8. What can you do now so that you will be in the best possible position in the post distancing era? #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @SustainableCG @caregiving Yes! It's such an easy way to connect that I think we are just turning to it way too much—especially now that we are without the other usual ways of connecting. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @SustainableCG @MichelleSeitzer It's definitely adding stress for me!! I want to stay up-to-date but that requires almost constant vigilence (sp?). That's not good. #carechat |
| Theresa Wilbanks @SustainableCG @URipple2013 @caregiving A Zoom Zumba class I love it! I've been considering some of the Zoom yoga classes. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving So true. Purpose gives calm. #carechat |
| Michelle Seitzer @MichelleSeitzer @caregiving He really has a gift! I totally agree! More than the cars or coffee, that's what I like about the show. The way he connects with humans. #carechat |
