With the advent of technology, we caregivers have found so many new and vital tools to help us as we take on the role of being CEO of our Loved Ones Care Inc.
The difference between the technologies that have become important parts of our lives and those that have fallen by the wayside, is quite simple if you know which organizations listened to family caregivers and which were simply “solutions looking for a problem.”When companies do listen to family caregivers and respect what we tell them, everybody wins.
This is why we have created the Fearless Caregiver Review Panel — to help provide viable feedback to those organizations who care about making our lives better.With this goal in mind, it is our pleasure to announce the formation of the first panel to review products designed to help caregivers as we care for our loved ones.
The first candidate for consideration is the Walabot HOME,
walabot HOME
which is the first automatic fall detection device that doesn't need to be worn. It detects when people come into the bathroom and if a fall happens, the device will call anyone you designate in order to give you a direct line to your loved one who has fallen.
We are seeking 10 caregivers to volunteer to join this Fearless Caregiver Review Panel. To qualify for this panel, you should have a loved one living at home who may be in danger of falling. The Walabat HOME will be shipped to you to install in the bathroom your loved one uses. You will evaluate the product for a month and share your thoughts and feelings with us. After the review period, we will call on you to talk with us about the product.
And the best part, the panelists who complete the one-month panel program get to keep the The Walabot HOME!
Please fill out the entry form to be considered for our inaugural review panel and we let you know if you are selected for this exciting opportunity to share your views.
