    Tech that Connects: Game Changing Communication Connecting Families & Communities!

    In this episode, we dive into the world of senior care communication with Justen Spirk, CEO of How's Mom. We explore the emotional challenges families face when placing loved ones in senior communities and how improved communication can alleviate concerns and guilt. Justen and Darleen discuss the importance of bridging the communication gap between senior communities and families. Often, there is a significant disconnect in how information is shared, which can cause stress and result in an unsatisfactory experience for families involved in assisted living. Families need to be informed about their loved ones' medications, including types and dosages, as well as their overall health status, the doctors they are seeing, and their participation in daily activities. Additionally, families need to know if their loved ones are enjoying their meals and thriving. Effective communication ensures families have the necessary information to confirm that mom or dad is well-cared for or to identify when additional assistance may be needed. Tune in to discover how 'How's Mom' is revolutionizing senior care communication, improving family connections, and potentially shaping the future of healthcare coordination. Whether you're a family member of a senior in care or a professional in the industry, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of effective communication in senior living communities.
