 | Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz #Diversealz on the hour chats about dementia, corona virus and care homes with dementia in mind of course. Aware that some folk will be clapping to applaud care workers, nurses, health professionals. |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Good day wherever you are and welcome to #diversealz here to talk about dementia, coronavirus and care homes. We are clapping by the way in support of and a way to give thanks and show respect for care and health workers. |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz We are going straight into question 1 even though we have plenty of questions in mind. #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question 1 and for folks who have hats bestowed on them (and remember who you are!) Where do we start? Pose a question around this, that is! #dementia, coronavirus and care homes. Questions about forgetting, remembering have gone and will be addressed later #diversealz |

| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question 1: Where do we begin as in, please pose a question around this area. Questions around remembering/forgetting already posed throughout the week and will be addressed. #diversealz |

| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Welcome to practical, analytical, creative care home hats and tell it as it is @YODsupporter hat. #diversealz |
| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE RT @helenfindlay: |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz RT @helenfindlay: |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Timely that we are chatting about this topic tonight for although there are going to be many concerns raised, there is also much support for the work many staff in care homes are doing #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz As always, we have stacks of questions but this is one of those chats, where it should be user led. Though being #diversealz, will be chiming in! OOH a question. |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz @journeyofcareM Yes. Amazing. Did mention that to some care homes a few weeks ago along the lines of will staff be staying there and meant it as a viable question too. Now see. Not the Sheffield folk though #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Welcome @bikerwise. Will have to give you a wise hat and @janis_cottee community hat if she arrives #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz RT @helenfindlay: |
| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE How does an already overstretched, under-resourced, and under-trained direct care force find the time to meet additional needs of residents with dementias? #Diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question via @helenfindlay asks if needs of care staff have been left behind. This will fall into regard/respect for care staff category and work they do. #diversealz. Who else is posing questions? One minute more.... |

 | William Bauser @bauserphd they don't It is not the lack of resources but the delivery |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Food provision just by way of @bikerwise chatting within chat to @helenfindlay #diversealz |
| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE RT @helenfindlay: |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Let the chat begin and we start with the practicals or hope to. #diversealz |

| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question 2: Should care homes be on total lockdown? #diversealz #opinions |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz @TommyTommytee18 Welcome. Our question 2 is a bit contentious asking if care homes should be on lockdown. #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Asking if care homes should be on lockdown? Seems a contentious issue. Why for care home staff go home and return to work; reports that relatives can enter care home if relative/person they support is seriously ill...#diversealz |
 | Bikerwise @bikerwise @DiverseAlz #diversealz I do not have anyone in a care home but I think there needs to be difference made between carers and visitors. Many partners or offspring are effectively part of the care team and need to be going in. |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Alternative question 2 is there a case for care homes going on lockdown? #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz RT @bikerwise: @DiverseAlz #diversealz I do not have anyone in a care home but I think there needs to be difference made between carers and visitors. Many partners or offspring are effectively part of the care team and need to be going in. |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz RT @bikerwise I think there needs to be difference made between carers and visitors. Many partners or offspring are effectively part of the care team and need to be going in. #diversealz |
 | Caroline @journeyofcareM @DiverseAlz My dilemma is do I do a lock down of all adjunct caregivers (PSW's) visiting daily in order to protect my mother (they wear masks/gloves). I can't wing it on my own like I used to & I need to buy food/supplies etc. Maybe not practical hat but philosophical one ?#DiverseAlz |
| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE @DiverseAlz A2. I’ll answer w/ another question: In US, where even doctors now are employees of health systems & insurers, as well as in care homes, who has oversight over the actions/decisions & accountability of execs & administrators of these organizations? #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Salient point made by @bikerwise about lockdown in care homes saying in nutshell that carers "are effectively part of the care team and need to be going in". Indeed some form partnership approaches and help. @helenfindlay raises questions of protective clothing. #diversealz |

| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE #diversealz |
| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE RT @nchadborn: |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz RT @nchadborn as everyone is looking for volunteers now, family care partners should be automatically registered as a priority. #carehomes #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz For sure, where carers/partners/supporters provide valuable help with their relatives perhaps care homes could reach out if hygiene protocols are followed. Perhaps goes back to @nursesKidONE point #diversealz putting simplistically about decision making, who makes them. Why? |
| Caroline @journeyofcareM @nursesKidONE They don't. Any crappy care home struggling pre Covid 19 just got nightmarishly worse. And now behind closed doors . No oversight ! Families are their only hope to stay connected & maybe alive. Grim scenarios await. #DiverseAlz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Tweeted in week, thanks to @nchadborn COVID-19: Managing the COVID-19 pandemic in care homes, good practice guide by @Gerisoc https://t.co/9a48roszOR #diversealz Good read. Raises many issues and yes, there are no easy answers. #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz It would be detrimental if homes did not go into lockdown tweets @TommyTommytee18. #diversealz |
| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE RT @DiverseAlz: RT @bikerwise I think there needs to be difference made between carers and visitors. Many partners or offspring are effectively part of the care team and need to be going in. #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question 2: Care homes in lockdown, what can one hope for? #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz There are great care homes as @TommyTommytee18 mentions. Think we need to hear more good news stories about how they keep in touch with relatives though it will be a two way street. But there'll be anxieties especially if there are underlying health issues or sickness #diversealz |
| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE @DiverseAlz Not without knowing the available staffing, equipment & protocols of the care home. #diversealz |

| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question 3 draws together points made by @nursesKidONE @journeyofcareM #diversealz |

| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question 3: Can/should carers ask difficult questions such as staffing levels, coronavirus levels, infection control, if they are getting enough supplies including food. After, all how easy has that been in general or everyone here has found it super easy? #Diversealz |

| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz @helenfindlay @theguardian This article highlights some of the points we've raised such as short staffed and so argument about volunteering as in family members/supporters comes to fore, and how staff do not know who entering home and in home may be carrying the virus. Could be staff too #diversealz |

| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz @LynnGamble20 Yes. All well. Thanks. Is the home keeping you up to date with Corona lurking around? #diversealz |

| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE RT @nchadborn: |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz @nchadborn One for @shedfieldlodge who actively participate in social media. Was hoping they would be around to chat about their venture in reaching out to other care homes #diversealz |

| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question 4 is, hopefully, going to open up the conversation to folk who may not have people with dementia in a care home but resonate with discussion. #diversealz |

| Bikerwise @bikerwise @TommyTommytee18 @hitchmough_paul @PatBroster @louise_langham @thredcic #diversealz Elderly neighbours of ours had friends round for a social gathering this afternoon. From the voices, there were four of them. |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question 4: What are some of the ways to stay in touch at a time of social isolation? @TommyTommytee18 has mentioned Zoom...#diversealz Ah @WendyPMitchell arranged a virtual cup of tea session or to that effect. Could those work? One care home is emailing photos to relatives |
| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE @TommyTommytee18 @hitchmough_paul @PatBroster @louise_langham @thredcic The government followed the recommendations of the care home industry in locking down care homes. There should be public hearings now for more input from “all stakeholders” as they now say. #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Staying in touch. Roses for @MyTwoElaines 's wife Elaine #diversealz |
| Caroline @journeyofcareM @DiverseAlz This virus is shaking everyone vigorously. Pple are dying on their own, abandoned as in Spain or as we saw in Wuhan, dropping dead on a street. We hope we will rise to the occasion. The after the fact will show the truths. #DiverseAlz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Staying in touch @LynnGamble20 The carers are WhatsApp video calling me every few days so I can say hello and get an update. #diversealz |

| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE RT @helenfindlay: |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz @journeyofcareM When all this is over, care homes will still be needed. Let's hope that people will see them differently and that we have enough decent news stories coming out to change perceptions. #diversealz |

| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz RT @nchadborn: |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Good question from @nchadborn Technology, communication to relatives: Is this always dependent on local staff, or do some larger companies have policies in place for communication with family in challenging times? #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Where one is unable to chat (verbally) must be comforting to know there are photos but also, and this is important, facetime (if can get access). Also videos would say much. On the other side (so to speak) one can send parcels and letters and a singing/dance video! #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz RT @nchadborn: |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz RT @nchadborn: @DiverseAlz @TommyTommytee18 @WendyPMitchell Found it - skype-on-wheels: |
| Bikerwise @bikerwise @DiverseAlz #diversealz All this assumes a level of vision and/or hearing that leaves the electronic communication making sense to the plwd. |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz @alzheimerssoc @IanMcCreath Question please via Technology, communicating to relatives and during CoVid19 are ways to communicate always dependent on local staff, or do some larger companies have policies in place for communication with family in challenging times? #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz RT @helenfindlay: |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz We've got some articles to tweet later about staying in touch which applies whether loved one/friend living with dementia resides in a care home or not. But here is question 5 going back to when we put out a call to ask something #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question 5 Are people aware of the needs of care staff and we will add unpaid carers at this time? This comes down to appreciation, respect, concern they have what they need i.e protective clothing, masks. #diversealz |
 | Lynda Henderson, born on unceded land. 🖤💛❤ @YODsupporter @DiverseAlz Hi all. It's 7am Friday here & the news is changing constantly. I'll duck in & out of this chat...with hat on. 😊 #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz @helenfindlay @nchadborn What is good about this is that although it is not recent, it is still relevant. #diversealz |
| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE @DiverseAlz @MyTwoElaines Flowers may not be permitted. When I received a bouquet of flowers while in a hospital CCU, the nurse said they were lovely, then told me I could not keep them. Had to send them home. #diversealz |

| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question 6: What name will you give #diversealz considering everyone seems to be wearing a hat for this chat. One can feel sidelined and no, don't want sidelined hat. Won't fit well. |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz RT @helenfindlay: |
| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE @nchadborn @DiverseAlz @TommyTommytee18 @WendyPMitchell Maybe in smaller or private pay care homes, but I don’t see this as something that will happen in larger homes serving mainly Medicaid beneficiaries in US , because their profit margins & staffing were already thin. #diversealz |
