“Katie has been using Caregiver Smart Solutions for a few years now. She shares her concerns about her mom and how the CORE kit has helped her have less stress and more Peace of Mind.”
The Seniors List
To me, the most intriguing part of Caregiver Smart Solutions is the detailed activity tracking. If you have a family member aging in place, then these devices can provide you with accurate updates that let you know your loved one is safe.
As days turn into weeks and weeks into months, the worry amplifies. Each passing moment brings with it the weight of responsibility.
Your mind is filled with nagging questions;
Did mom get out of bed?
Are they using the bathroom normally?
Are they taking their medications?
Are they drinking enough water?
Are they showing signs of lethargy or inactivity?
Are they sleeping enough?
Is their residence the right temperature for them?
Did they visit the bathroom during the night
Is Dad staying safe on his own?
What if they have a fall and no one's there to help?
Did they forget to close a door?
Did they trip and fall?
Did they leave the premises?
The uncertainty grows, making it hard to focus on anything else.
