For millions of older Americans, Medicaid-funded services are the lifeline that allows them to maintain their independence and avoid the steep costs and social isolation that comes with institutional care.

"#Ageism should never restrict us from wearing the clothes we want to wear, the music we want to listen to, the activities we want to do, or the aspirations we set ourselves.”

@thischairrocks.bsky.social asks, "What if olders and youngers heard one another's accounts of what's great and what's awful about being 19, and 90?" www.nextavenue.org/lets-come-to...

People have "to choose between splitting their pills to make them last longer, or between groceries and filling a prescription. The pressure of costs and prescription drugs is real, and especially for people with low incomes, who are trying to just meet their day-to-day needs."

#Gerontology focuses on the social, biological, and psychological aspects of aging and how that changes throughout the life course.

Gerontology is the study of aging, but includes so much more. I enjoy educating people about all of this through videos and posts. Follow along.

New to Bluesky and excited to find people in the field of aging, or interested in age-inclusion, ageism awareness, and age equity. Where are y'all?!👀
