- 0:04Speaker 2: It's seven thirty one on a Friday. I am just
- 0:07Speaker 2: beaming with delight right now because off Arab been talking
- 0:12Speaker 2: with Patty from Heart for Seniors and Kathy Russell's in
- 0:16Speaker 2: from Solera. We'll learn about Solearra here in a moment,
- 0:18Speaker 2: along with physical therapist Tim King this Heart for Seniors.
- 0:22Speaker 2: This is the most amazing organization helping out folks that
- 0:26Speaker 2: are dealing and struggling with medical issues. You know, we
- 0:29Speaker 2: started out with a Patty it was assisted living facilities?
- 0:34Speaker 2: Was your focus? Yes? And I told you a moment ago,
- 0:37Speaker 2: I say it again out loud. I remember my How
- 0:39Speaker 2: could you forget? My dad was an assisted living facility
- 0:41Speaker 2: dealing with Alzheimer's dimension. Thankfully my mom sat at his
- 0:44Speaker 2: side and basically did the fulfilled the role of what
- 0:48Speaker 2: you at Heart for Seniors have automated. Yes, with modern technology. Yes,
- 0:52Speaker 2: and we'll start as we always do before we move
- 0:54Speaker 2: over to Solearra and these awesome silicon composite dressings that
- 0:57Speaker 2: people are just gobbling up thanks to you. At cost. No,
- 1:02Speaker 2: I mean there's no up charge on this.
- 1:04Speaker 3: No.
- 1:05Speaker 2: The garment monitor obviously, we have problems with incontinence urine
- 1:13Speaker 2: aary tract infections and hospital visits as a consequence of
- 1:16Speaker 2: people laying there hour after hour because the assistant, the
- 1:20Speaker 2: person outside the room that's supposed to check on undergarments
- 1:24Speaker 2: hasn't checked for a while. Maybe they checked it five
- 1:27Speaker 2: minutes ago. Then there's a soiling issue, and then it
- 1:29Speaker 2: won't be for two, three, four more hours before they
- 1:32Speaker 2: get back on that rotation. Welcome to modern technology. You've
- 1:35Speaker 2: got a monitor that anyone can buy, even for home use,
- 1:38Speaker 2: now that sends you an alert.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Alert response technology.
- 1:42Speaker 2: It's awesome, it's affordable, it's easy. I told my wife yesterday,
- 1:45Speaker 2: she works for the largest hospital system in the country.
- 1:49Speaker 2: I said, you've got to get your case. They have
- 1:52Speaker 2: nursing facilities and care facilities. I said, you've got to
- 1:54Speaker 2: get in touch with hard for seniors. Can you imagine
- 1:56Speaker 2: for that lolo price, how much additional expense you would
- 2:01Speaker 2: be saving by avoiding the medical issues that go along
- 2:03Speaker 2: with this the bed sores? Oh my god. And you
- 2:06Speaker 2: also have the oxygen monitoring hook up to this. Tell
- 2:08Speaker 2: my listeners, yeah yeah, let's move over to get it
- 2:12Speaker 2: all out.
- 2:12Speaker 1: I'm going to get it all out.
- 2:13Speaker 2: I love this.
- 2:15Speaker 1: So the one thing that we've learned December is our
- 2:18Speaker 1: one year anniversary with you, that we've that you've been
- 2:20Speaker 1: supporting us and been online. And the one thing we've
- 2:23Speaker 1: learned in that entire process is after every time we're
- 2:26Speaker 1: on your listeners call and the biggest issue we had
- 2:30Speaker 1: is I'm at home. I'm at home. I'm not in
- 2:32Speaker 1: long term care, I'm not in a facility. Can I
- 2:34Speaker 1: have it at home? Can I have it at home?
- 2:36Speaker 2: Yes?
- 2:37Speaker 1: So we've transitioned and yes, they can have it at home.
- 2:41Speaker 1: And let's keep in mind there's one point two billion
- 2:47Speaker 1: seniors according to the World Aging and Health fact Sheets,
- 2:51Speaker 1: that are at home, not in long term care facilities.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Even in Ohio there's only sixty six thousand in nursing
- 2:56Speaker 1: homes over two million at home.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Well, that's why I'm Patty's because most people can't afford
- 3:02Speaker 2: the dating things.
- 3:03Speaker 1: I understand. I understand. So let me just tell you ironically.
- 3:07Speaker 1: I always talked about my mom and dad eighty eight
- 3:08Speaker 1: years old. By the way, they're upright, which is great.
- 3:12Speaker 1: But last time we talked about skin tears and it
- 3:16Speaker 1: lit up like Christmas trees. So many issues with skin tears.
- 3:20Speaker 1: So I wanted to make sure that you saw, so
- 3:23Speaker 1: we immediately same day, everybody that called, we got them
- 3:26Speaker 1: boxes of our technology. This technology, as you can feel
- 3:31Speaker 1: in time.
- 3:32Speaker 2: I have one on right now.
- 3:33Speaker 1: It is the most unbelievable. There's not anything else in
- 3:36Speaker 1: the world that has it. This particular company locally out
- 3:40Speaker 1: of Monroe, Ohio only Celeaire only sells to like the mckessons,
- 3:44Speaker 1: the Cardinals that I mean, big large you know.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Professionals, the medical systems, right.
- 3:49Speaker 1: But the owner and this woman right here are like, no,
- 3:53Speaker 1: we want to support Heart for seniors and this technology
- 3:57Speaker 1: though the film it's unbelieve And let me tell you
- 4:01Speaker 1: before I turn it over to Kathy and you ask questions,
- 4:03Speaker 1: we have.
- 4:03Speaker 2: To take a break before you hear from Cassy. That's okay.
- 4:06Speaker 2: I mean I I kind of had an awareness that
- 4:10Speaker 2: you know, elder skin is very thin, but I did
- 4:13Speaker 2: not realize until you mentioned it last time you're on
- 4:15Speaker 2: and you introduced this technology. It tears very easily. A
- 4:19Speaker 2: simple band aid will peel all of the skin off.
- 4:23Speaker 2: This is the answer. You put one on my very
- 4:26Speaker 2: hairy fore arm and I just just a little It
- 4:28Speaker 2: sticks wonderfully, but just a little bit of lifting pulls
- 4:31Speaker 2: right off. No pain, no tearing, not even a single
- 4:34Speaker 2: hair was pulled from my arm. We're gonna get more
- 4:36Speaker 2: on this and we'll hear from Kathy from Selera and
- 4:39Speaker 2: God bless Selearra for offering this technology for everyone that
- 4:43Speaker 2: you can hear my voice right now. It's available for
- 4:45Speaker 2: use at home, making life much much better for the
- 4:48Speaker 2: seniors out there. Seven thirty six right now if you
- 4:50Speaker 2: five KRCD talk station mentioned before I mentioned seven forty here,
- 4:54Speaker 2: fifty five KRCD talk station putting a huge smile on
- 4:56Speaker 2: my face, just acknowledging the work and spreading the information.
- 5:00Speaker 2: I am blessed to be in the position I am
- 5:02Speaker 2: helping out seniors in home or in the nursing facilities.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Heart for Seniors, It's Heart the number four Seniors dot Org.
- 5:09Speaker 2: You're gonna have an opportunity for a freebie today, so
- 5:12Speaker 2: stick around. We'll learn more about that with Patty Scott,
- 5:14Speaker 2: who we've had in the studio many times and always
- 5:17Speaker 2: just a delight here from knowing what she and the
- 5:20Speaker 2: Heart for Seniors folks are doing and learning about more
- 5:22Speaker 2: and more of the organizations who are reaching out to
- 5:24Speaker 2: work with Heart for Seniors to share more love and
- 5:28Speaker 2: more technology. We started with the diaper monitor thing and
- 5:31Speaker 2: we talked about that. We've got the risk the new
- 5:35Speaker 2: risk wearable, Risk wearable which will alert you if you're
- 5:38Speaker 2: the caregiver of heart.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Rate pull socks, temperature.
- 5:42Speaker 2: And the warning from the undergarment. Yes, all on your arm. Yes,
- 5:47Speaker 2: so if you're driving to the grocery store and Dad's
- 5:49Speaker 2: back still at home and you know, and like we
- 5:52Speaker 2: got to get back home now. Pivoting back over to
- 5:55Speaker 2: the silicone composite dressings, seniors have thin skin. Any normal
- 5:59Speaker 2: dress and Patty just showed me a picture. This poor
- 6:02Speaker 2: man had a small wound on his arm and the
- 6:04Speaker 2: bandage that was over it was much larger. You can
- 6:07Speaker 2: see the damage done to his skin when they tore that,
- 6:10Speaker 2: when they took tour took the bandage off of it.
- 6:12Speaker 2: That never happens with Seleari's product, the silicon composite dressings.
- 6:17Speaker 2: And we have Kathy from Selera, thank you so much
- 6:20Speaker 2: for working with Hearts for Seniors. Kathy, you've made these
- 6:22Speaker 2: available at no charge of Heart for Seniors so they
- 6:24Speaker 2: can share the love with all the folks that are
- 6:26Speaker 2: relying on them. Yes we have.
- 6:27Speaker 3: We're just so excited to be partnering with them. We're
- 6:31Speaker 3: a company that we always mainly sell out to sell
- 6:34Speaker 3: to large institutions in situtions and medical professionals, and Heart
- 6:39Speaker 3: for Seniors helps to fill that gap that's needed to
- 6:42Speaker 3: get the product out to the community. So we're so
- 6:45Speaker 3: excited because we've always had a Heart for seniors and
- 6:47Speaker 3: we hear firsthand from customers and patients that their biggest
- 6:52Speaker 3: struggles are that skin breakdown that causes major wounds and
- 6:57Speaker 3: skin tears.
- 6:58Speaker 2: And then at the healing time takes much longer, has
- 7:00Speaker 2: opened a larger wound by taking the bandage off. I mean,
- 7:03Speaker 2: it's just it's a vicious circle. So you solve the problem.
- 7:06Speaker 3: We have and that's what makes it so unique. So
- 7:08Speaker 3: our silicone composites. That silicon is so frag gental that
- 7:12Speaker 3: it's for the most fragile skin. So when you apply it,
- 7:15Speaker 3: a patient and and a senior can have peace of
- 7:18Speaker 3: mind knowing that when they remove it there's not going
- 7:20Speaker 3: to be any damage.
- 7:21Speaker 2: I drew a parallel. It comes off like peeling a
- 7:25Speaker 2: post it note off of a full wall circa. It's
- 7:27Speaker 2: that easy, but unlike a posted note, it actually will
- 7:31Speaker 2: stay on your skin until you peel it.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Off, but it hears very well and protects that skin
- 7:35Speaker 3: because they need protection also to keep it to help
- 7:38Speaker 3: it to heal properly.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Well, clearly there's a massive demand out of there. Because
- 7:42Speaker 2: you know my Lowly radio show, I talked to Patty
- 7:44Speaker 2: last time she mentioned this for the first time. The
- 7:46Speaker 2: phones blew up.
- 7:47Speaker 3: Because people need help. Obviously, they need help and they
- 7:51Speaker 3: don't know who to turn to. And Hard for Seniors
- 7:53Speaker 3: is getting out in the community's firsthand. I mean, Patty
- 7:56Speaker 3: talks to people, they come and see her well of
- 8:00Speaker 3: the heart that she has for this and the heart
- 8:02Speaker 3: that this company has because they just really, really truly
- 8:05Speaker 3: care for people and they want to make a difference
- 8:08Speaker 3: as our company.
- 8:09Speaker 1: So we're really excited.
- 8:11Speaker 2: I imagine you are. And you've teamed up with the best,
- 8:13Speaker 2: the best, the best Heart for Seniors. And if you're
- 8:15Speaker 2: an organization out there that has something that might benefit seniors, facilities, services,
- 8:20Speaker 2: whatever you're offering, get in touch with Patty at Heart
- 8:21Speaker 2: for Seniors. They'll be more than happy to bring you
- 8:23Speaker 2: into the team and keep spreading the love and bettering
- 8:26Speaker 2: the lives of those that are struggling in the homes.
- 8:29Speaker 2: I'm so pleased to know that this is now in
- 8:31Speaker 2: home use. So the diaper monitor, the arm wrist wearable,
- 8:35Speaker 2: the bandage products, all of these are available through your website,

- 8:53Speaker 1: thousand dollars, bought all these boxes that they want to

- 8:59Speaker 2: So they're handing them out, handing them.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Out to free to their veterans, their community, things like that. Also,
- 9:04Speaker 1: we could not do this without care Source Ohio. They've

- 9:50Speaker 2: little bit physical therapist. He's work seven forty nine fifty
- 9:53Speaker 2: bout KRC detalk station Happy Friday, Extra Special Happy Friday
- 9:56Speaker 2: with the folks from Heart for Seniors and CEO, including
- 9:59Speaker 2: Can from the bandage manufacturer Solara, which has been kind
- 10:03Speaker 2: enough to partner up with Hard for Seniors. I keep
- 10:05Speaker 2: learning more and more as like a flood of information.
- 10:07Speaker 2: First off, crash test Jummy Joe Strecker has been putting
- 10:10Speaker 2: your bandages through a workout. He had it on one arm,
- 10:13Speaker 2: he moved it to another arm, he took it off
- 10:15Speaker 2: that one, he put it someplace else. It keeps sticking
- 10:18Speaker 2: and it does not hurt, it does not tear. It's
- 10:20Speaker 2: just so simple to apply You can self apply these,
- 10:23Speaker 2: so a senior does not need assistance putting this on.
- 10:26Speaker 2: The other cool thing, you can peel back the bandage
- 10:29Speaker 2: itself again, it comes off like a post it note
- 10:31Speaker 2: would come off of a surface, Look at the wound,
- 10:34Speaker 2: and then re apply it. You can't do that with
- 10:36Speaker 2: a band aid, and of course the band aid would
- 10:39Speaker 2: pull the skin off, creating a larger room. I also
- 10:41Speaker 2: learned it takes longer for seniors to heal, so this
- 10:43Speaker 2: vicious cycle goes over and over and over and over again.
- 10:47Speaker 2: These bandages solve these problems. Free sample four four four,
- 10:51Speaker 2: twenty thirteen. That's hard for seniors. Number to get the
- 10:54Speaker 2: free sample, call them, reach out to them and do so.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Tellim you're a physical therapist. You've seen this kind of
- 11:01Speaker 2: damage at work here with seniors. Oh yes, I have.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Over the years, I've seen some wounds and some skin
- 11:06Speaker 2: terrors that are just horrendous. Yeah, that happened, and it
- 11:08Speaker 2: happens so easily. Yeah, it doesn't take much. The other
- 11:12Speaker 2: thing that you see regularly, and I know I've talked
- 11:14Speaker 2: with Patty about this is like the bed sore problem.
- 11:17Speaker 2: If you lay and obviously move and you don't move
- 11:19Speaker 2: in a certain position. This they have a special bandage
- 11:24Speaker 2: that's shaped to apply to I guess your hip, your tailbone.
- 11:30Speaker 2: It's perfect size for the tailbone. It's the right size
- 11:33Speaker 2: of the tailbone. So if you're sitting all the time
- 11:35Speaker 2: and you were subject to maybe getting a bed sore
- 11:37Speaker 2: kind of thing, you put this on, you avoid the problem.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Absolutely great technology. Is it all available?
- 11:44Speaker 1: It's all available.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Because some of the things you would run out.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Of and will know we have we haven't. We have
- 11:50Speaker 1: warehouseful more than enough available.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Okay, Now how about the watches and how about the
- 11:56Speaker 2: the undergarment monitoring.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're great with incontinence, if anybody's at home
- 12:01Speaker 1: needs the incontinence anything like that, we're great with that.
- 12:03Speaker 1: The watches were out of but we've got more coming
- 12:06Speaker 1: in so but still call.
- 12:08Speaker 2: But the product can work with a smartphone, right, yeah.
- 12:11Speaker 1: It'll it'll alert anybody I've got. Actually it's right here
- 12:16Speaker 1: on the app. Let me show you. You can put
- 12:18Speaker 1: on your neighbor, you could put on your I have
- 12:21Speaker 1: my kids listed on here for my dad, my mom.
- 12:24Speaker 1: You can list as many people as you want that
- 12:26Speaker 1: need to monitor.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Okay, and once you acquire that monitor, it's reusable, right.
- 12:30Speaker 1: That is correct. You just already use the smart brief.
- 12:33Speaker 1: That is that is correct. It's not one and done.
- 12:38Speaker 1: You just use the smart brief that we currently have.
- 12:41Speaker 1: You attach it. They it alerts for moisture, it alerts,
- 12:45Speaker 1: for bm IT alerts if there's turning the wrong way, positioning,
- 12:49Speaker 1: anything like that. So if you have someone who's disabled
- 12:52Speaker 1: or who's had surgery and can't be on one side
- 12:54Speaker 1: or the other, it's just it's amazing, and it's all
- 12:57Speaker 1: done right here from the smartphone, the smart.
- 13:00Speaker 2: App, smart app. And I keep going back to how
- 13:03Speaker 2: unbelievably affordable this is. This is not some like thousand
- 13:07Speaker 2: dollars cash outlay you've got to make. And that's why
- 13:09Speaker 2: I go back to the whole idea of hospital systems.
- 13:12Speaker 2: It should embrace this. Yes, I mean, you invest one
- 13:14Speaker 2: hundred bucks for one of these gizmos and that applies
- 13:17Speaker 2: that and then you've maybe you could even do staffing
- 13:20Speaker 2: reductions because it's going to streamline the process. Who needs help?
- 13:23Speaker 2: The ones that the alarm is going off need help? Yeah? Correct,
- 13:27Speaker 2: what an amazing concept.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Staffing in long term care facilities is just a nightmare.
- 13:31Speaker 2: It is. It's terrible.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Yeah, alert response technology is definitely the future, but not
- 13:35Speaker 1: just the future for there, but at home. We are
- 13:38Speaker 1: finding out there's more people at home than there are
- 13:42Speaker 1: in the long term care facilities Sandwich generation, people like
- 13:45Speaker 1: me who are taking care of my kids, but also
- 13:48Speaker 1: my parents don't have the resources. We want to be
- 13:52Speaker 1: the resource to. There's just more people at home.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Yeah, and you confirmed, like if I had asked that question,
- 13:57Speaker 2: because I had never heard that specific fact, like more
- 14:00Speaker 2: far more people are at home being taken care of
- 14:02Speaker 2: than a nursing homes, if you'd ask me whether or
- 14:04Speaker 2: not to believe it to be job. But I said,
- 14:05Speaker 2: of course, who can afford Like I said last segment,
- 14:07Speaker 2: who the hell can afford a nursing home?
- 14:09Speaker 1: It's crazy, it's crazy.
- 14:11Speaker 2: And this is the app.
- 14:12Speaker 1: The app was made so nice. So it's large, it's big,
- 14:16Speaker 1: it's simple. You can see it if you're a senior.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Oxygen temperature yeah, I mean position, it's just really right there.
- 14:23Speaker 1: And you can actually change the thresholds. So if your
- 14:27Speaker 1: dad has a heart issue or you know, his pulse
- 14:30Speaker 1: socks or his temperature, I mean, you can adjust these however,
- 14:32Speaker 1: are customizable.
- 14:34Speaker 2: To have the alarm go off at some given point
- 14:37Speaker 2: they select correct. Wow, I did not even.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Know that it was very customizable.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Well, i'll tell you what. We're going to take a break.
- 14:45Speaker 2: It's Heart for hard number four seniors dot or get
- 14:47Speaker 2: in touch with them. Kathy. It's a pleasure meeting you.
