Plain talk about the problems families face, the technology that helps, and what we are building at DAR.WIN.
The 2024 Genworth and CareScout Cost of Care Survey is out, and the numbers tell a clear story. Long-term care got more expensive across every single category. Most increases outpaced inflation. And the gap between the cost of professional care and the cost of staying home has never been wider.
More than 100 rural hospitals have closed in the United States over the last decade. Eighteen more closed this year. Another 700 are at risk. The people most affected are the ones least equipped to drive farther for care: older adults aging in place in rural America.

Last month The Wall Street Journal published a story about a 79-year-old woman found in her home ten days after she had passed. The ten days are not the point. The ten hours are.

You see your client for a few hours a week. What happens the rest of the time? The math behind the visibility gap caregivers cannot close on their own.
The hardest part of building technology for seniors is not building the technology. It is finding a solution they will accept.
My dad refused to wear it. He said it made him feel like a dog. The pendant went on the dresser and stayed there for three years. Here is why.
