Realpersonreminder.com has launched a nationwide service to aid the elderly
(PRLEAP.COM) In Winter Haven, Florida on 07/18/08 an important service was started to aid elderly loved ones and their families. Realpersonreminder.com and their staff are connecting with the estranged elderly, children, and home bound seniors with live family check calls."Loneliness may put people at risk of an Alzheimer’s-like dementia", according to Kathleen Fackelmann, USA TODAY. A senior living by themselves with limited outside contact could use this check call service to help them cope with the daily routines of their life. "Talking to a real person, even on the phone can help fight loneliness and depression" says Mr. Edens, owner of Realpersonreminder.com. Joan P. from Detroit declares, "I worried about my aunt Jan all the time. She lives about 800 miles from us, which is too far to visit on a regular basis. We found this live care call service and it has been a God send to us and aunt Jan." Families of elderly loved ones who do not live close enough for regular visits can initiate this daily care call service themselves.
"Researchers found that lonely people have blood pressure readings that are as much as 30 points higher than in non-lonely people", according to Psychology and Aging; Newswise 3/2006. They do not use computer calls, only live calls made by their staff. "We want our customers to be able to respond to a real live person when they pick up the phone", says Mr. Edens.
Another of their services is to call daily and remind the elderly to take their prescription medications. "Adherence is a huge problem, costing billions of dollars," says Alexandra Papaioannou, a geriatrician at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. "Obviously, if you don’t take the drug, you won’t have the full benefit." Gerald M. from Dayton says, "My doctor kept telling me I could not forget to take my prescriptions everyday. My memory is not as good as it used to be, so after being stubborn for a while I signed up for this thing and it has been a lot better than the doctor reminding me all the time. I wish I would have done it sooner".
"Large numbers of children in this country come home after school to empty apartments and houses. These children, often called "latchkey kids", are responsible for their own well-being and entertainment during these hours. Many working parents find this a source of considerable anxiety and worry", says Michele Ginnerty, M.A. Realpersonreminder.com has a latchkey check call service that calls the child and then e-mails or phones the parent at work. "We believe in real customer service and satisfaction", says Mr. Edens.
"Contacting the elderly people in your own family with regular letters, phone calls and visits shows them you care and don’t consider them a burden", says Marti Stephens in "Elderly deserve our respect, compassion and time", 2/29/00. The staff at Realpersonreminder.com adds, "We can help with the regular contact in your family and make it work for everybody".
Realpersonreminder.com is a live reminder and family care call service. Their staff makes live check calls via the phone, daily or whatever schedule fits their customers needs.
