thinkfuture: technology, philosophy and the future

if we stay too safe - we will never be able to innovate

Most in-home senior care sucks. We’re Mike Clark and Rod Palmer, the founders of Dwell at Home. When our parents began to age we realized the in-home senior care business has hardly changed since it was created in the 1080s. Call an agency they send out the next “sitter”. Our parents deserve better.   The devices we carry on our site have changed our lives, from catching a ride to buying groceries, why not senior care? Dwell at Home is an app that connects seniors with in-home care partners, offering a more affordable, convenient, and personalized care option. We’re changing the future of in-home senior care through our unique approach of matching seniors with compassionate care partners based on personality, hobbies, and interests, and career paths- ensuring a better fit for seniors and care partners alike.   Now we’re creating a portal to help small to medium-size private agencies. This portal offers the agency a back-office solution with smart scheduling, electronic verification, quick book integration, and more.   https://dwellathome.com

Look back upon your day and tell me if you ever just stopped and did nothing? That you put your phone down, or put your remote down (after you turned off the TV), or put your book down, and sat there, closed your eyes, and did nothing? You either cleared your mind entirely or focused on a specific word, phrase, or breathing pattern.
