Speaker 1 (00:00):
Facial.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's seven thirty one on a Friday. I am just
beaming with delight right now because off Arab and talking
with uh Patty from Hart for Seniors and Kathy Russell's
in from Solera. We'll learn about Solera here in a moment,
along with physical therapist Tim King. This Heart for Seniors.
This is the most amazing organization helping out folks that

(00:26):
are dealing and struggling with medical issues. You know we
started out with as Patty, it was assisted living facilities
was your focus? Yes? And I told you a moment ago,
and I say it again out loud. I remember my
How could you forget? My dad was an assisted living
facility dealing with Alzheimer's dimension. Thankfully my mom sat at
his side and basically did the fulfilled the role of

(00:48):
what you at Heart for Seniors have automated. Yes, with
modern technology. Yes, and we'll start as we always do
before we move over to Solearra and these awesome silicon
composite dressings that people are just gobbling up thanks to you.
At cost No, I mean there's no up charge on
this now. The garment monitor obviously, we have problems with

(01:12):
incoginence urinary tract infections and hospital visits as a consequence
of people laying there hour after hour because the assistant,
the person outside the room that's supposed to check on
undergarments hasn't checked for a while. Maybe they checked it
five minutes ago. Then there's a soiling issue, and then
it won't be for two, three, four more hours before
they get back on that rotation. Welcome to modern technology.

(01:35):
You've got a monitor that anyone can buy, even for
home use, now that sends you an alert.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Alert response technology.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
It's awesome, it's affordable, it's easy. I told my wife yesterday,
she works for the largest hospital system in the country.
I said, you've got to get your cause they have
nursing facilities and care facilities. I said, you've got to
get in touch with hard for seniors. Can you imagine
for that lolo price, how much additional expense you would
be saving by avoiding the medical issues that go along

(02:03):
with this the bed sores? Oh my god. And you
also have the oxygen monitoring hook up to this. Tell
my listeners, yeah yeah, let's move over to get it
all out.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'm going to get it all out.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I love this.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
So the one thing that we've learned. December is our
one year anniversary with you, that we've that you've been
supporting us and been online. And the one thing we've
learned in that entire process is after every time we're
on your listeners call and the biggest issue we had is,
I'm at home. I'm at home. I'm not in long
term care, I'm not in a facility. Can I have
it at home? Can I have it at home?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (02:37):
So we've transitioned and yes, they can have it at home.
And let's keep in mind there's one point two billion
seniors according to the World Aging and Health fact Sheets,
that are at home, not in long term care facilities.
Even in Ohio there's only sixty six thousand in nursing
homes over two million at home.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Well, that's why I magine Patty's because most people can't
afford the dating things.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
I understand. I understand. So let me just tell you ironically.
I always talked about my mom and dad eighty eight
years old. By the way, they're upright, which is great.
But last time we talked about skin tears and it
lit up like Christmas trees. So many issues with skin tears.
So I wanted to make sure that you saw. So

(03:23):
we immediately same day, everybody that called, we got them
boxes of our technology. This technology as you can feel
and touched.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
I have one on right now.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
It is the most unbelievable. There's not anything else in
the world that has it. This particular company locally out
of Monroe, Ohio, only Celeire only sells to like the mckesson's,
the Cardinals, the I mean big large, you know, professionals
medical systems, right. But the owner and this woman right
here are like, no, we want to support Heart for

(03:55):
seniors and this technology though the film it's unbelieve And
let me tell you before I turn it over to
Kathy and you ask questions, we have to take.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
A break before we hear from Cassy. That's okay. I
mean I kind of had an awareness that you know,
elder skin is very thin, but I did not realize
until you mentioned it last time you're on and you
introduced this technology. It tears very easily. A simple band
aid will peel all of the skin off. This is

(04:24):
the answer. You put one on my very hairy fore
arm and I just just a little It sticks wonderfully,
but just a little bit of lifting pulls right off.
No pain, no tearing, not even a single hair was
pulled from my arm. We're gonna get more on this
and we'll hear from Kathy from Selera, and God bless
Selera for offering this technology for everyone that you can
hear my voice right now. It's available for use at home,

(04:46):
making life much much better for the seniors out there.
Seven thirty six right now if you five KRCD talk
station mentioned before I mentioned seven forty here, but you
five KRCD talk station putting a huge smile on my face,
just acknowledging the work and spreading the information. And I
am blessed to be in the position I am helping
out seniors in home or in the nursing facilities. Heart
for Seniors, It's Heart the number four Seniors dot Org.

(05:09):
You're gonna have an opportunity for a freebie today to
stick around. We'll learn more about that with Patty Scott,
who we've had in the studio many times and always
just a delight here from her knowing what she and
the Heart for Seniors folks are doing and learning about
more and more of the organizations who are reaching out
to work with Heart for Seniors to share more love
and more technology. We started with the diaper monitor thing

(05:31):
and we talked about that. We've got the risk the
new risk wearable, Risk wearable which will alert you if
you're the caregiver of heart.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Rate pull socks, temperature.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
And the warning from the undergarment. Yes, all on your arm. Yes,
so if you're driving to the grocery store and Dad's
back still at home and you know, and like we
got to get back home now. Pivoting back over to
the silicone composite dressings, seniors have thin skin. Any normal
dress and Patty just showed me a picture. This poor
man had a small wound on his arm and the

(06:04):
bandage that was over it was much larger. You can
see the damage done to his skin when they tore that,
when they took tour took the bandage off of it.
That never happens with Soeleari's product, the silicon composite dressings.
And we have Kathy from Soelera, thank you so much
for working with Hearts for Seniors. Kathy, you've made these
available at no charge of Heart for Seniors so they
can share the love with all the folks that are

(06:26):
relying on them.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yes we have. We're just so excited to be partnering
with them. We're a company that we always mainly sell
out to sell to large institutions in situtions and medical professionals,
and Heart for Seniors helps to fill that gap that's
needed to get the product out to the community.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
So we're so.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Excited because we've always had a heart for seniors and
we hear firsthand from customers and patients that their biggest
struggles are that skin breakdown that causes major wounds and
skin tears, and.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Then at the healing time takes much longer. Yes, opened
a larger wound by taking the bandage off. I mean,
it's just it's a vicious circle.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
So you solve the problem we have and that's what
makes it so unique. So our silicon composites. That silicon
is so fra gental that it's for the most fragile skin.
So when you apply it, a patient and and a
senior can have peace of mind knowing that when they
remove it there's not going to be any damage.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
I drew a parallel. It comes off like peeling a
post it note off of a full wall, sir, because
it's that easy, But unlike a post it note, it
actually will stay on your skin until you peel it off.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
But it hears very well and protects that skin because
they need protection also to keep it to help it
to heal properly.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well. Clearly there's a massive demand out of there. Because
you know my Lowly radio show I talked to Patty
last time she mentioned this for the first time. The
phones blew up.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Because people need help. Obviously, they need help and they
don't know who to turn to. And Hard for Seniors
is getting out in the community's firsthand. I mean, Patty
talks to people, they come and see her of the
heart that she has for this and the heart that
this company has because they just really, really truly care
for people and they want to make a difference as

(08:08):
our company.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
So we're really excited.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
I imagine you are. And you've teamed up with the best,
the best, the best Heart for Seniors. And if you're
an organization out there that has something that might benefit seniors, facilities, services,
whatever you're offering, get in touch with Patty at Heart
for Seniors. They'll be more than happy to bring you
into the team and keep spreading the love and bettering
the lives of those that are struggling in the homes.
I'm so pleased to know that this is now in

(08:31):
home use. So the diaper monitor, the arm wrist wearable,
the bandage products, all of these are available through your website,
pattiheartfor Seniors dot org.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yes, and I have to give a shout out to
Steve Wilson. He's the one who had the issue on
his leg that I.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Shared with you with him.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yes, and he's with the American Legion in Loveland and
go American Legion and Loveland. They came in and donated
three thousand dollars, bought all these boxes that they want
to give out to the community and their veterans.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
So they're handing them out, handing them out.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
To free to their veterans, their community, things like that. Also,
we could not do this without care Source Ohio. They've
stepped up as well. Oh, they're a lot behind the
technology and we're just where we can't. We love our
partners Selera. Care Source can't ask for enough. So if
anybody would like a free sample, just reach out to

Speaker 2 (09:36):
You'll be blown away by this. So anybody that's got
this kind of issue going on you have, You're done,
Your problem is solved. Heartforreseniors dot org four four four
twenty thirteen. To get your free sample. We'll do a
little bit more with uh, Kathy and Patty and we'll
hear from Tim a little bit physical therapist. He's working
seven forty nine fifty about KRC detalk station Happy for Friday,
Extra Special Happy Friday with the folks from Heart for

(09:57):
Seniors and CEO, including Can from the bandage manufacturer Solara,
which has been kind enough to partner up with Hard
for Seniors. I keep learning more and more as like
a flood of information. First off, crash test Jummy Joe
Strecker has been putting your bandages through a workout. He
had it on one arm, he moved it to another arm,
he took it off that one, he put it someplace else.
It keeps sticking and it does not hurt, it does

(10:19):
not tear. It's just so simple to apply. You can
self apply these so a senior does not need assistance
putting this on. The other cool thing, you can peel
back the bandage itself again, it comes off like a
post it note would come off of a surface, Look
at the wound, and then reapply it. You can't do
that with a band aid, and of course the band
aid would pull the skin off, creating a larger room.

(10:41):
I also learned it takes longer for seniors to heal,
so this vicious cycle goes over and over and over
and over again. These bandages solve these problems. Free sample
four four four, twenty thirteen. That's hard for seniors. Number
to get the free sample, call them, reach out to
them and do so. Tell him you're a physical therapist.
You've seen this kind of damage at work here with seniors.

(11:02):
Oh yes, I have. Over the years, I've seen some
wounds and some skin terrors that are just horrendous. Yeah,
that happened, and it happens so easily. Yeah, it doesn't
take much. The other thing that you see regularly, and
I know I've talked with Patty about this is like
the bedsore problem. If you lay and obviously moving you
don't move in a certain position. This They have a
special bandage that's shaped to apply to I guess your hip,

(11:28):
you so your tailbone. It's perfect size for the tailbone.
It's the right size of the tailbone. So if you're
sitting all the time and you were subject to maybe
getting a bed sore kind of thing, you put this on,
you avoid the problem. Absolutely great technology. Is it all available?

Speaker 1 (11:44):
It's all available.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Because some of the things you would run out of.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
And I want you know we have we haven't. We
have warehouseful more than enough available.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Okay, Now how about the watches and how about the
the undergarment monitoring.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, so we're great with incontinence, if anybody's at home
needs the incontinence anything like that, we're great with that.
The watches were out of but we've got more coming
in so but still call.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
But the product can work with a smartphone, right.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, it'll it'll alert anybody I've got Actually it's right
here on the app. Let me show you. You can
put on your neighbor, you could put on your I
have my kids listed on here for my dad, my mom.
You can list as many people as you want that
need to monitor.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Okay, and once you acquire that monitor, it's reusable, right,
that is correct.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
You just use the smart brief that is that is correct.
It's not one and done. You just use the smart
brief that we currently have. You attach it. They it
alerts for moisture, it alerts, for bm IT alerts if
there's turning the wrong way, positioning, anything like that. So
if you have someone who's disabled or who's had surgery

(12:53):
and can't be on one side or the other, it's
just it's amazing, and it's all done right here from
the smartphone, the smart.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
App, smart app. And I keep going back to how
unbelievably affordable this is. This is not some like thousand
dollars cash outlet you've got to make. And that's why
I go back to the whole idea of hospital systems.
It should embrace this.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yes, I mean, you.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Invest a hundred bucks for one of these gizmos, and
that applies to that, and then you've maybe you could
even do staffing reductions because it's going to streamline the process.
Who needs help? The ones that the alarm is going
off need help?

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Correct, what an amazing concept.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Staffing in long term care facilities is just a nightmare.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
It is. It's terrible.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, alert response technology is definitely the future, but not
just the future for there, but at home. We are
finding out there's more people at home than there are
in the long term care facilities Sandwich generation, people like
me who are taking care of my kids, but also
my parents don't have the resources we want to be

(13:52):
the resource to. There's just more people at home.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, and you confirmed, like if I had asked that question,
because I had never heard that specific fact like more
far more people are at home being taken care of
than a nursing homes. If you'd ask me whether or
not to believe it to be job, I said, of course,
who can afford Like I said last segment, who the
hell can afford a nursing home?

Speaker 1 (14:09):
It's crazy, it's crazy. And the app, the app was
made so nice. So it's large, it's big, it's simple.
You can see it if you're a senior. Oxygen temperature yeah,
I mean position, it's just really right there. And you
can actually change the thresholds. So if your dad has
a heart issue or you know, his pulse socks or

(14:30):
his temperature, I mean you can adjust these however, are customizable.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
To have the alarm go off at some given point.
There you select correct. Wow, I did not even know
that that.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Was very customizable.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Well, I'll tell you what. We're going to take a break.
It's Heart for Hard number four Seniors dot or get
in touch with them. Kathy. It's a pleasure meeting you.
Thank God for your company, that technology. You've helped out
so many people and it's just a beautiful thing you're doing. Tim,
Thanks for the work that you're doing on behalf of
those that are well disabled. And thank you for Patty.

(15:04):
What more can I say? You're the best Heart Force
Seniors Thoughts?

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Your listeners are the best. Your listeners are the best.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Let's throw it over to Tiffany Green, Officer Green
