The world is in the midst of a technology and demographically-driven revolution on how people live with physical, mental and emotional vitally throughout their entire lives. Profound changes over the past 50 years in family structures, employment, longevity, and the rise of chronic disease make aging today fundamentally different than any other time in human history.
The mission of CaregiverZone is to provide data-driven information and objectively reviewed resources to support individuals as they age as well as caregivers as they navigate the path of supporting an aging relative or friend.
While our own aging or caring for an aging loved one may be a novel event for any one of us, this is a path well-traveled by billions of people both historically and presently around the globe. CaregiverZone curates these experiences to generate actionable insights and provide clarity to people seeking to make informed decisions about prosperous aging.
We have deep experience in providing hands-on eldercare and technology-enabled care coordination and remote patient management to at-risk individuals and populations. From daily wellness checks to medication monitoring and chronic care assessment, we are experienced in providing insights into the physical, mental and psychological health of the individuals and communities. Our team has been at the forefront of telehealth for two decades. We have programmed, delivered, installed and monitored 10,000s+ of digital health systems in the homes of patients and loved-ones. The solutions have provided increased compliance, improved health outcomes, and reduced re-admissions to hospitals. Let us help you.
Our team has developed, deployed, installed and supported virtual care solutions for over 20 years. We have worked with the Veteran's Administration (VA), Medicare and Medicaid programs, academic medical centers, home care and private duty agencies, health care providers, and community organizations.
