As a caregiver for his wife, David Walsh found purpose and meaning. As a business owner he’s carrying that purpose forward supporting seniors to live safely in their own homes. David’s wife Beatrice faced the end of her life with courage, and asked David to do the same as her caregiver. They had been partners for 30 years when Beatrice was told she had only four weeks to live during the Covid pandemic. While he acknowledged how difficult the Caregiving was , David viewed his caregiving experience as an honor.
Recalling this grievous experience, David remembers what a joy it was to spend the last year of Beatrice’s life in her own home. It was one of Beatrice’s end of life wishes, and they were able to honor that. David understands how much support people need as they age. He also knows how valuable it is for older adults to age in their own space. His work reflects what he learned during his wife’s illness. Halo Care provides a safety net for older adults living alone. They believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live independently at home but when that time is getting more difficult, HaloCare provides additional help. Supported by innovative technology and passionate, caring people, HaloCare utilizes remote monitoring to empower people to live quality, independent lives in their own homes. Always respectful of dignity and privacy, there are no video cameras used in Halo Care’s systems and the technology is backed up by compassionate, real humans.
