In this episode, hosts Becca Bean and Jeremy Hedrick are joined by Bethany Korbel, general manager of Comfort Keepers — Traverse City, Michigan. to learn more please visit: https://bit.ly/4cQq2l1 This week, Bethany Korbel joins the show to discuss how Comfort Keepers is using technology to help seniors remain exactly where they want to be: safely at home. We examine the notoriously stressful hospital-to-home transition and ask what "independence" really means when juggling medications and doctor communications accidentally mutates into a full-time job for seniors and their loved ones. Comfort Keepers is swapping out the low-tech workarounds of the past (looking at you, duct-tape-modified TV clickers) for advanced tools like senior-friendly remotes, HomeSight and virtually monitored medication dispensers. As a result, Comfort Keepers is effectively canceling family panic mode (and maybe even alleviating some group text drama). We discuss a future where technology augments and enhances hands-on empathy instead of replacing it. The result? Earlier interventions, less stress and a whole lot more joy. #CaregiverSupport #HospitalToHome #ElderlySupport #AssistedLivingAlternative #FamilyCaregivers #ComfortKeepers #DialedIn #DialedInPodcast
