from International Business Times:
Too much to do and too little time. It's a common problem that takes
onspecial significance for the families of the more than 3.8 million
people inthe U.S. living in Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities
or receiving HomeCare as they struggle to stay up-to-date with the
well-being and needs oftheir loved ones.
"As one of the millions of people in the U.S. with family in
long-termcare," said Neil Moore, founder and chief executive officer
ofConnect4Healthcare, the company that developed the service, "I was
shocked tofind that with all of the technology available to us today,
the only way wecould find out how our loved-ones were doing was to
visit or call the careprovider. Most of us can't do that as often as we
want; our lives are just toohectic."
After spending almost 20 years in the healthcare IT business, Moore
knewhe could do better. "That's why we created Connect for
Healthcare(TM). It'sbecome my personal mission. We (families) want and
need the information; carefor our loved ones is better when we are
better informed, and good careproviders want to communicate with us. It
helps everybody involved."
The Connect for Healthcare(TM) service was developed by the company
withinput from families and care providers. "Although our primary
objective is tohelp families and their loved ones," says Moore, "the
role of the long-termcare provider in our process is critical. Staff
time and money continue to betheir key challenges. The simplicity of
our software and our unique businessmodel address them both."
Today, the company is introducing their service to long-term
careproviders but plans to begin marketing directly to consumers early
next year."In the meantime," says Moore, "families that want the
service should call thecare provider and ask for it. Send them to our
website or have them contactus. We can have them ready to start sending
you updates in less than a day."
