On Today’s show, we welcome Lynn and Tom Wilson founders of The CareGiver Partnership.
The Caregiver Partnership is a direct to consumer retailer of a wide range of services from incontinence products to skill care, daily living aids and mobility. They also now offer a host of in-home services such as fall detection and and even a national deliver of freshly prepared, home delivered meals! Their mission is to help individuals remain in their home as long as possible by providing products, services and helpful information to Family caregivers and their loved ones, nationally.
With all the services that ‘The Caregiver Parternship provides, Tom and Lynn are two people who really care, while demonstrating what it means to ‘Be A Healthy Caregiver.’
You Might Know Me As The Bow Tie Guy - "Wearing a bow tie is like wearing two smiles."
When people ask me, "why did you create the Whole Care Network"... I always come back to our caregiving experience and how fortunate I was to find resources that helped me and my partner Richard Schiffer manage our caregiving journey. Every caregiver has a story; through our stories, we find validation, resources, and respite to help manage our caregiving day.
We were fortunate to have our story chronicled in a 2015 Pulitzer Prize-nominated 3-part story, “In Sickness and In Health: A Couple’s Final Journey,” which told our journey of caregiving. The story told of the challenges LGBT partners have in dealing with the medical and legal system, but it also told of the love and joy my partner Richard's last years had on our relationship.
