New Service Launched For Aging Seniors And Their Families To Address Growing Problem.
PRESS RELEASE - COLUMBUS, OHIO, SAN FRANCISCO and PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA
As the national trend of seniors staying in their homes longer (aging-in-place) continues, a new danger has emerged. At its root lies the fact that neither the seniors nor their families have the knowledge or experience necessary to recognize when the senior’s declining condition is putting them in danger. Too often that recognition comes only after they suffer serious injury.
To address this growing problem, a first of its kind service, Senior Watch Calling™, has been introduced by Connect 4 Healthcare™, in cooperation with ComForcare Senior Services of San Francisco and Palm Springs.
The service represents a new and much needed addition to the care options available to seniors and their families by combining brief, frequent personal telephone checks performed by senior care professionals with regular in-home, safety and health assessments. After each call and home visit, a status updates is posted to the client’s private web page and senior-approved family members and related health professionals are automatically notified by email and text message that they are available for immediate review.
Craig Gordon, Director of Business Development for Connect 4 Healthcare, LLC said, “The combination of frequent and ongoing professional assessments and the use of current technologies to keep both the family and related health professionals up-to-date, promises to improve the safety of those seniors that receive the service. Of particular importance in today’s economic environment, the service is a fraction of the cost of either traditional in-home or residential care.”
“I’ve been involved in Senior Care for more than 25 years”, said Lisa Marie Blaskie RN, BSN, CCM and owner of the ComForcare agencies. “With more seniors choosing to age-in-place Senior Watch Calling™ bridges a very real, very dangerous gap in the current care continuum. “The signs of a decline in health and ability that put seniors at real risk of accident or injury are sometimes too subtle to be recognized by the untrained observer. Other times they are obvious but ignored because their family don’t want to face the fact that their loved one needs help. Or more often the warning signs are missed and they wait too long to act and something bad happens. Senior Watch Calling™ is the perfect solution.”
