We’re The Corporation Of The Month In Family Caregiver Magazine

In 2007, 2.7 million Canadians over the age of 45 were caring for an elderly parent.  These are the people who miss work to take their mother to a doctor’s appointment; get by on less sleep so they can stand watch for a father who wanders; and tirelessly make the trip to the nursing home day after day to make sure their loved one is cared for.

This month, PointerWare is featured as the corporation of the month in The Family Caregiver magazine, distributed through Shoppers Home Health Care.   If you’re near a store, drop in and pick a copy up.  The article, for the most part, tells the PointerWare story and what we can do for seniors but the part we like best is when Raul describes what PointerWare can do for caregivers:

“Most of the caregivers we talk to immediately ‘get’ why someone would use PointerWare,” says Rupsingh. “But what they don’t initially understand is what this easy-to-use software will do for them, the caregiver.  “I tell them, ‘You need to check out PointerWare because you deserve some peace of mind when you’re too busy working or looking after your kids or keeping on top of day-to-day life to squeeze in a visit; because you miss the mother or father or grandparent who was vital and engaged and connected to the larger world; because your kids need a relationship with their grandparents, even if they don’t understand that yet; and because sometimes you want to recapture a little of what things were like before caring for someone took over your life.’ That’s why you need PointerWare.”
