Its going to be a loooong day. Mum already called me all confused demanding to know where her purse was. She hasn't used her purse in over 5+ years. She doesn't need her purse, ever, she doesn't leave the house. But somehow this morning her brain is telling her she needs her purse. 😔 #Eldercare

Opinion | This invention to help older adults is so right, it seems obvious A transformative tool is allowing family members to live better lives as they age.

What a great communication solution for the very many of us with older parents/relatives.

It's a big step forward from the solutions in Australia (last time I checked)

Yeah, canceling Hulu/HBO Max for the summer. I was going to try and get back into watching Hacks but just couldn't do it, not mum's thing. I am never alone enough to watch tv by myself. Will pick back up whenever Gilded Age/Bridgerton/The Pitt come back. #Eldercare

Exhausting day. Not only did I have to spend whole day performing SIT testing, I had to troubleshoot & reset my router thanks to Xfinity screwing w/my internet. Mum was COMPLETELY out of it today, memory/mood/anxiety/belligerence-all things- making it so hard #Eldercare But cardiologist gave me ok🤷🏻‍♀️

I did mum's laundry unbeknowst to me, she had 4 triangles of Toblerone in the pocket of a fleece jacket. I didn't think I had to check her pockets when she never leaves the house, but here we are. So I had to do her laundry after I did her laundry. #Eldercare.

Integrating Care Context With Skeleton and Depth Information for Older Adult Activity Recognition in a Care Facility Using Care-Assessment-Aware Spatiotemporal Transformer: Method and Validation Study Background: Older adult activity recognition is a critical task in long-term care monitoring; yet, it remains challenging due to postural deformities and health-related variability. These factors cause different activities to appear visually similar, or the same activity to appear dissimilar, undermining the effectiveness of traditional human activity recognition models developed for the general population. Objective: This study aims to develop an improved older adult activity recognition method that integrates care assessment information with motion data to capture and understand movement variability arising from different health conditions. Methods: To achieve our objective, we propose a care-assessment-aware spatiotemporal transformer (CSTT) model that integrates body key points, heatmaps, and care level data for personalized and context-aware activity recognition. The model dynamically adjusts its attention mechanism based on care level context to improve recognition accuracy. CSTT was trained and validated on real-world older adult motion data. A total of 51 older adult participants (30 men and 21 women; age range of 64-95 years) were included in the study. Among them, 7 (13.7%) required high care assistance, 26 (51.0%) required medium care assistance, and 18 (35.3%) required low care assistance. Results: Despite data imbalance and considerable intraclass variation due to differing care needs, the proposed CSTT model achieved an F1-score and accuracy of 0.96 and area under the curve is 0.98. Analysis revealed that movement patterns differ significantly across care levels and that similar motions occur in distinct activities, highlighting the importance of care-aware modeling. Conclusions: Incorporating care level information into activity recognition models significantly enhances performance in older adult care settings. The proposed CSTT framework demonstrates the value of personalized, context-sensitive approaches for accurate and ethical monitoring in long-term care environments. Trial Registration:

The Assisted Living Industry Is Broken — And It’s Time to Burn It Down Note: This is an opinion/advocacy piece. The views expressed are intentionally provocative and represent one side of a complex policy debate.

Hot take: Assisted living in America isn't a care system. It's a wealth-extraction system.
Middle-class families are selling their homes to pay. Next generation won't have that option.
