Speaker 1 (00:00):
You talk station.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Fifty five KCD talk station. Even listen to the thirty
five CARC Morning Show for a while. You know that
I adore the work that Heart for Seniors is doing
for folks living in assisted living facilities as well as
being cared for by family members or other caregivers in
the home. Wonderful services, and they're trying to make life
a lot easier in so many ways they have. Welcome back,

(00:24):
Patti Scott, Heart for Seniors. Find them online, you'd be
glad you did. Heart the word for the number. Seniors
dot org is where you're gonna find them. Patty, it's
good to have you back in studio on a Friday.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Thank you, Brian, thank you so much, and we love
your listeners. First of all, considering next week's Thanksgiving, we
are beyon grateful, amen, so grateful that number one, we
have our seniors living amongst us. Sure, yes, whether they're
in a facility, whether they're at home. There's no reason
why you should age without any dignity, and so we're

(00:59):
just so grateful that you're listeners. Care I'll tell you
it'll be almost a year next month that you had
us on your first show.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Oh no, kidding.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yes, yes, a year.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Next month goes by so quickly it.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Does, and we just are so grateful. We couldn't have
done any of this or expanded or touched any of
these lives without your listeners.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
So we're very, very grateful.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well, I am grateful for you, I really am. And
that's why I'm so happy that you came on the show.
At the outset, I didn't realize that these, you know,
the problems that you deal with and address even existed. Now.
I was painfully aware of the situation my father was
in when he was with Alzheimer's in the Alzheimer's facility.
But Mom was there all the time, you know, I

(01:44):
mean most of the time anyway, but you nonetheless saw
the struggles. It is not easy being you know, I
will describe it as in an invalid condition, in an
invalid state, impossible to care for yourself and reliant among
about a reliant on others who, if they're not a
family member, probably don't have the care and concern first

(02:06):
and foremost in the mind that loved one would. And
when it comes to the diaper changing, that to me,
it's just wow. You're in air tract infections. You know,
Dad went through some of those wallowing in that because
they're on a schedule, rather than knowing immediately when there's
a continence and incontinence issue, you have the technology that
you know, boom right there, you know, the minute it happens,
you can assign the person to that room right away,

(02:29):
not a schedule where you're just sort of waiting around.
Just the first you're the one that introduced the technology
to me, and all the realities that go along with
the problems of not having that regular a.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
System alert response technology. You know, at the end of
the day, all we need to know is we need
to be alerted. And there's all kinds of alert devices
out there, but none that other than our system that
shows you that there's been an incontinence episode. You know,
why should somebody have to sit in there yarn in
their feces. It just goes to skin breakdown and so
many other things. And then we are from your listeners

(03:01):
that they weren't just in nursing homes. They were at
home right and they needed help because they're working. There
are other places, and so we stepped up to the
call and we created an app so that they could
have the technology at home. You know this little device
right here, Alert Response Technology, it's heart rate, it's pull socks,

(03:22):
you know, it's.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
That's the risk monitors, that's the riskwear.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
But the smart watch, Yeah, and it alerts and tells
you if it goes below ninety, if it alerts if
I mean, I can just tell you the heart rate alone.
Somebody got an alert the other day. Family member got it.
They were able to determine what was going on, and
their mother and father had forgotten to actually take their
heart medication. No kidd bradycardia heart rate drop. Couldn't figure

(03:48):
out what had happened. Alert Response Technology realized the medicine
had not been taken.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Just scratching the surface. Here with Patty Scott from Heart
for Seniors, Heart the Number four Seniors Dot or we'll continue,
got more things to talk about. A positive here on
a Friday as we segue into Thanksgiving week seven Shout
seven fifty five Karosee the talk station fifty five Carosee
getting out there some love for my senior friends in

(04:13):
the audience and those who care for them. Heart for
Seniors Word, Heart the Number four Seniors Dot Org. Patty
Scott's in studio and a shout out to my friends
Charlotte and Bob. Charlotte and Bob, good morning to both
of you. Apparently they may very well be listening. Charlotte
told me that she I was. I had the pleasure
of being introduced to her a few weeks ago and
when Patty was in the studio, and apparently she is

(04:35):
there every morning to hear me say five oh five.
So good morning Charlotte and Bob. And I understand you
know you mentioned to me the move over to the bandages,
and I've been doing some commercial See these things are amazing, amazing.
First off, you're the one that made me realize that
a regular band aid on a senior with thin skin
will literally pull the skin off.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
What holds the skin a band aid, a bandit?

Speaker 2 (04:58):
She had these wonderful bandages, and props to the company
that brought that helps provide you with them. You are
a five OHO one to three C nonprofit organization. You're
there for the sole purpose of helping seniors. These bandages
actually stick, but they act like a post it note
on a wall. It's easy to tear off. It's just
so simple, and yet it remains the fixed until you
decide to pull it off. You had told me that

(05:21):
that seniors end up in urgent care because of bandage wounds,
Like we're talking about urgent care and hospitals.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
It would amaze they take off a bandage, taking off
a bandage, or they bump into a wall and a
normal bandage won't and they call the fire department. I
can't tell you how to talk to your local firefighters.
They'll tell you how many calls they make to seniors
that just have bumped into a wall and they can't
stop bleeding because there's nothing to put on them. They
themselves don't even have the right proper bandages that don't

(05:49):
tear the skin. There's nothing out there like it. We
please get in touch with us, go to Hard for Seniors.
We will send you samples. We've sent so many samples
out to people, so many organizations. Steve Wilson, one of
your followers, came in with the American Legion in Lovelin
and they donated so many boxes to the community, to
the veterans that were in need. He himself just has

(06:12):
wound after wound on his arms.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Scratches, And here's the deal.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
If you've got to be so careful with that thinning skin,
because if it rips and it tears, you've got other issues.
I mean, it could turn into skin breakdown, which then
turns into sepsis, which turns into other things. So it's
just so important to pay attention. Kelly Bird. I know
she's out there listening. She's one of your followers. She

(06:36):
contacted us last time. Westchester is taking care of their
seniors that are homebound, and we actually are pulling together
some donations to be able to throw into some shoeboxes
for those seniors. They call it Seniors and Shoeboxes. So
anyone with a giving spirit that wants to donate some
wound bandages, they just need to go to our site
and we're filling up those boxes next week to be

(06:58):
able to get out. There's so many people home bound.
Seniors are homebound. Yeah, they're just home bound well, And.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
As bad as maybe being in an assisted facility assisted
living facility may be, most people just simply can't. I mean,
it may be a better option for folks in terms convenience,
the twenty four to seven care that might exist there,
the meals that are prepared and all that, it's all good,
but most people really can't afford that. It's just outrageously

(07:25):
it's expensive, and that's why there are so many seniors
being cared forward home.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
In our region alone, there's sixty six thousand in a
long term care facility. There's two point three million at home.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Holy cow boy has to strain the resources of the
homes that did the deal with that. But you know,
I guess when on balance, I would rather be in
a situation where a family member is taken care of
me the being in a assisted living facility. But it
just gets beyond.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
They need resources, they need to huh.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, I think of my poor mom. You know, it
was her and my dad. She it was going to
kill her. She was exhausted after caring for him for
a couple of years NonStop, twenty four to seven. You're
up at night, you're up during the day. You're trying
to get them fed, you want to make sure they're hydrated,
you have to clean them up regularly. I mean, it's
on and on and on and on, and at some
point there's a breaking point.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
So but we're here's a resource. We're here to help.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Weve even if we're just an advocate, We've had a
lot of people contact us. They're in a hospital, they're
family members in a hospital. They don't know whether to
send them to what facility. They don't even realize that
if just for a couple more days, we call it
treat them and streatom Hospitals are really good at treating
them and straeten them versus just keeping them a couple
of extra days. And you can push back, you can

(08:38):
appeal the discharge process. We've helped so many people appeal
the discharge process just to keep their loved one in
the hospital for a couple more days to where they
could take them home, versus them just being thrown out
into a facility that, by the way, struggles with staffing.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yeah, just completely.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
And you're dealing with Medicare, Medicaid often in these situations,
and they're looking at believe it or not, trying to
save money by doing that early release or quick release turnaround.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
But treat him and street him.

Speaker 2 (09:06):

Speaker 2 (12:28):
I know you do, and you're interested in partnering with
anybody who is anybody along these same lines doing what
you're doing. Maybe this sounds interesting to them in terms
of a worthy organization to support, and I can only
call it very worthy. Heartfor Seniors dot Org can make
things really easy for you. So as we appro fast
approach Thanksgiving, I think it's an important thing for me
to note I'm truly thankful for you and what you're doing.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
Well.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
We are grateful for you because if it weren't for you,
we wouldn't be where we are today. It's been almost
one year, and it's your listeners who trust you. Listen
to you because they trust you, and because of that
they come to us.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
I wouldn't lie to any of them. My approach to
this program and everything that I do.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Is they know that you know, I mean, you are.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Anybody's lying. How do you perpetuate a lie? I don't
come on, Why would I steer somebody in the wrong direction.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
We've heard that from so many people that have come
to the office. Is I heard you on the Brian
Thomis show. I've heard you on the Brian, and they
trust you for everything.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I truly appreciate the trust and I like to think
that I maybe have earned it. You know, I'm not
a perfect human being by any stretch of the imagination, but.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
You're an amazing You're an amazing man.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
I'm not here to have my back pat it. I'm
here to support hard for seniors dot Organ. The work
that you're doing. You're showing just the positivity that can
come from it every single day.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
But you care about SS. You care about them.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
I do, and you know what, I'll give props my
mom and dad for that. Yes, you know, having lived
through it, you see it, you become aware of it,
and then you hear about how much worse things can
be and are for so many people. And these are
honestly like the bandages. You think, well, that's it's easy solutions. Oh,

(14:13):
come on, come up with a bandage. It doesn't tear
people's skins off. And no, that is not widely available
technology that is mind blowing to.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Me now, or they can't afford it.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
We've had so many people that have come in and
we're just like we hand them to them. We're just
handing them to them. They can't afford them. We're just
handing them to them.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Well, if you're looking for something to be thankful for,
you have Patty Scott Hart for seniors at least in
that particular area. But you don't have to look very
far beyond that to see some great things to be
thankful for. We live in such a divided time in
this world, and everyone's seeking to divide us. No one
seems to be able to stop and smile and find
something to be thankful for. As we fast approach Thanksgiving,

(14:51):
let's all pause and try to do that. It'll change
your attitude. You know, I think life can be heaven
or hell. You don't know what's coming afterwards. Want to
try to make your life heaven right, that's up to you.
You know you got this, don't know what's coming, But
your attitude has a tremendous amount, tremendous amount to say

(15:11):
over whether or not you're going to be happy or
you're going to be sad. You want to dwell on
all the negative. You want to be in a fight
with someone all day. You want to walk around like
some of the Greta Thunberg, for example, the perpetual frown
and anger on your face. Or do you want to
make the most of this life. Just try to find
something to smile about as we fast approach again Christmas
as well on the other holidays. I'm sorry, little wax

(15:31):
poetic there. I get kind of sentimental patty when it
comes to facular.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Thanksgiving is lit. You said it's your favorite holiday. It's
legit one of mine, it really is.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
We have so many things to be grateful for, and
especially the lives that are around us. I mean, I
thought I was going to lose my mom and dad
this year and they are thriving at eighty eight right now.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Isn't that great?

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Thriving and my mom's doing really right?

Speaker 1 (15:55):
I know.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
I love your mom. I love your mom still able
to drive.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
By the way, for all the donations, the Cunningham sisters
are still going out and singing.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
So they're still doing it.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
They're still doing it, folks.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
If you're not to wear the Cunningham Sisters, these these
girls are absolutely amazing, and they perform for my mom.
If you make a donation to Hart for Seniors, they
will come to you and perform live, and trust me,
you're gonna want to have them do that because someday
it's going to be like I remember when the Cunningham
Sisters performed for mom or I remember when I was
in the room with the Cunningham sisters. Because they're gonna

(16:27):
go global. They're so good. Yes, and they're performing at
King's Island right now.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
You say they are. They're in Winterfest.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, you don't have to take my word for it.
Get down and out the King's Island, enjoy Winterfest and
check out the Cunningham sisters. Not quite sure when they're playing.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
I don't know, but they're on the main show, Charming, bubbly.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
They care, they care, they really do.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, and their mom actually is now doing work for
Heart for seniors. She's going into homes and just even
doing like diabetic care and pumps and things that people.
Her name's Tara, and I mean literally we I hate
to say it, but a UC coach his dad was
down in Atlanta and he had to pull him up
here and he called he needed help. We got terror

(17:10):
ride in a plane. Tarr went down with him. They
transported his father back up here. So, I mean, we're
all just here to help. We got to help. It's
we have to help our seniors.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Part four Seniors Daugh or that's where the help starts.
Get in touch with him, help them out, or take
advantage of the great things they have on the website
and that they make available to you. Patty, we will
talk again soon, I hope and enjoy your Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
I will, I will, and I'll be thinking of you
and your mom. I love your mom.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
I love her to death.
