earl Linger to the wreck of Buttermilk. The right lane
of a ramp is blocked up by a car sitting

(00:50):
sideways at Buttermilk. Everything else is in pretty good shape,
Chuck ing ramon fifty five KRE see the talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
It's seven thirty I fifty five kr CE detalk station
at pay Friday. And I know there's a lot of
folks that are in assisted living facilities out there in
the world that are much much, much happier because of
the work of my next guest, and she's been on
several times, Patty Scott, who's with HEART for Seniors Foundation,

(01:25):
which is a nonprofit, and that HEART stands for Healthcare
Evolution Alert Responsive Technology, And what they do is they
help out seniors who are dealing with you know, it's
like incontinence issues that so many have and I know
this from a personal, you know standpoint, and it's impossible
for the staff at these various facilities to know exactly
when they need to get in there and help that

(01:47):
patient out. And so this amazing technology which just with
your donation you can help assist them get this affordable
technology into these facilities. So the healthcare provide there get
an immediate note warning like hey, room four, second floor,
mister Jones needs some assistance, and rather than letting him

(02:10):
lay there for ten or twelve fifteen hours, which quite
often happens, they get right to the need and then
it and as well, it provides other things, Patty, Patty,
I Love, I Love, I sort of adopted your charity,
and I'm glad to be able to help you out. Patty.
It's welcome back to the program, Brian.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
You and your listeners have been amazing and you can
adopt us anytime. We cannot thank you enough.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Well we I mean, we kind of have adopted you.
So then that's good. That's good. I mean, And you
had those wonderful young ladies on last time. God is
so moved by their singing skills and abilities. And if
you make a donation to Hartford Seniors, you may very
well be blessed by a visit from what were the

(02:55):
gal's names.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, May Sam Marie Cunningham, the kind of Marie from
the NBC Voice, which, by the way, you need to
let us know they're ready to come sing to your
mother because of your wonderful donation. So we're still we uh,
just need a date and time. I will tell you.
We did our first visit a couple weeks ago. And

(03:18):
let's just say tears are flowing. Oh to be getting
a lot of video. Oh wow. I don't even know
where to begin on that one. Let me start first
with that. Let's just say the isolation that goes on
with a lot of these seniors. The joy of just
a simple somebody coming in and singing to them and

(03:42):
being told that your loved one is thinking about you
and sent these little angels to sing a favorite song.
Oh yeah, has been probably the most joyous thing I've
ever seen in my entire life. Is so incredible.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
And there's no way I could ever call that an
overstatement because I got to witness they sat here in
my studio and they just are such great singers, and
they have such a positive attitude, a loving spirit. You
can see it, you can sort of feel it. It's
like somebody that walks in the room has a certain
glow and aura about them. You're like, that's a good

(04:20):
person right there. That's those young ladies. And they just
exude this charm and positivity and they're not They don't
have any kind of agenda other than sharing their the
spirit and the and their love for for well seniors.
And I love the story about their neighbor. What their
ninety plus year old neighbor who doesn't have anybody left
in their life, has outlived their children, and they go

(04:42):
and spend time with her. It's just it's it's it's
just what they're all about. So you guys, the marriage
of you of them with Hart for Seniors is just
the perfect fit.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
It is, and I'll tell you when you'll see it
with your mom. They just sit, they hold their hands,
they sing. It's like this little personal concert and I
just stand and cry. I mean, I just have flowing
down my mind. But it's really personal, and that's really
what we want to do, is bring this personal. You know,

(05:16):
when somebody's at the end of their life stage, right
there's no reason why. And obviously I'm a perfect example.
It's so hard right there. My dad for the last
month has been in the hospital and I couldn't care
for him at home if I tried. I mean, it's
just been real. He's eighty seven and it's just been real,

(05:38):
real issues. And we finally have gotten him to rehab
facility right now, hopefully we'll get him back home. But
you know, there just sometimes reaches a point where you
can't care for them at home and they have to
be where the medical professionals are. And Brian, let me
just tell you, call, I have been an ish you

(06:01):
in the last several weeks. We all know it. And
we had told you about our calllite technology that we
installed locally and have been testing. And let me just
tell you that, right there is a game changer. Typically
most average calllites can they could be answered quickly, but

(06:21):
with staffing issues and things like that. God loved the
healthcare staff when they're covering a whole haul, sometimes by
themselves at neither on the weekends, the call light maybe
just you know, gets turned off, whatever the case may be.
Now this callite technology goes straight to their biolink phone

(06:43):
and they get alerted no differently they do than for
an incontinence issue or a pulse sox issue dropping. And
let me just tell you we are seeing response times
now just in testing mode of upwards of four to
five minutes, which may sound like a long time, but
in a normal average can't come answer the calllight for

(07:05):
an hour and forty five minutes. It's massive, it's massive.
And what's really cool is we're targeting to determine why
are they hitting the calllight. Is it medicine related, is
it socialization related? Is it food related? Is it hydration related?
Nobody has been able to collect data before to determine

(07:27):
or is someone kidding me?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
They don't know now surprise. I mean that sounds like
a very With modern technology and computers, that seems like
a very simple thing to be able to document. But
there's no requirement that you document why the call light
went off, so nobody does it. But your technology has
the ability to just to put that data in and

(07:50):
keep track of it. Let's bring Patty back. It's heart
for seniors. It's heart the number four seniors dot org.
I strongly encourage my listeners to make a contribution, and
you too, make it a lovely serenade. And it's not
just the seniors wore in the last limbs. My mom's
listening to the program Patty, So we Mom, we haven't
written you off. She's still independent, she lives at home.

(08:10):
You can also have this may see Marie come over
and sing for maybe a caregiver as well. They'll do that.
So pause and make the donation, and we'll bring her
back and find out how much how many inroads they've made,
because I know they keep expanding. So first though, a
word for doctors Fred Pack and Meghan Frew, the dynamic
duo of dentistry. Now doctor Fred Pac and the wonderful

(08:33):
staff at his clinic. Well, their clinic now, but he's
been my general dentist for jeez, I've been fifteen years
by now. Just the most state of the art clinic.
He insists on everything being cutting edge, and so they
do have everything cutting edge and it's all for the
benefit and the comfort of the patients there. Teaming up
with doctor pack in more than a year now, I

(08:55):
think doctor Meghan Frew working on her accreditation with the
American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, so she offers fresh perspectives
on cosmetic dentistry. Doctor Fred Peck has got years under
his belt doing transformative, life changing, exceptional cosmetic dentistry. If
you need cosmetic dentistry, you don't like your smile, you
got a problem with it. You want of those types
of people to put their hand in front of their

(09:16):
mouth because you don't want they don't. You don't want
people to see your teeth. You need to see the
dynamic duo of dentistry. Doctor Peck and a credited fellow
with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and that's rarefied air.
I mean, just you'll see the before and after pictures
of some of the work that he's done. Over the years,
absolutely mind boggling and doctor Frew. If you're afraid of
the deal of the dentist, you don't like dentists. It's

(09:37):
impossible not to love doctor Meghan Freu. So the dynamic
duo is there waiting for you. Get a call, make

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Seven fifty five kr City talk station helping out those
in assisted living facilities get the care and treatment they
need within the right amount of time. It's, of course
Heart for Seniors Heart the number four Seniors dot org
nonprofit organization. You can help out. Any little contribution can help.

(11:16):
And I tell you what, Patty Scott, my guest this morning,
we've had her on before, has just let me know
on so many occasions how much she appreciates you, my listeners,
and the help that you have given the Heart for
Seniors organization and its effort to help these folks truly
in need. They are so I want to thank all
my listeners for supporting this wonderful organization as well. It

(11:39):
just makes so much sense. And honestly, Patty, it's just
kind of when we first met to talk about this
and you first introduced me to this technology, I was
just shocked that it wasn't literally in every one of
these senior facilities everywhere, because it's you know, ultimately, while
it can be expensive to obtain, you know, collectively, for

(12:02):
every single bed and every single facility overall, the cost
is not that much given today's modern technology.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
No, it's twelve dollars and eighty seven cents day Brian
for one resident. Yeah, and that's actually with them being
on the entire bioling system, you know, and somebody doesn't
have to be incontinent. We have the rest wearables that
a lot of people wear. You know, as you get older,
your pullstock drops and if somebody like forgets to put
their oxygen on after they shower and all of a

(12:33):
sudden their pulsocks drops from one hundred down to eighty,
that could cause a major issue. Again, alert response technology,
the rest wearable will pick up on it. It's the
only FDA approved device in the United States, and it
alerts for help and going back to your mom. We
actually can set up in home. We've focused obviously on

(12:57):
the larger population in the long term care facilities, but
if any of your listeners have loved ones at home
and need help with caregiving, all they need to do
is email us, email us, email me personally Patty Patty
at Hartfordseniors dot org, and we can set you up

(13:17):
like your own little nursing home at home as well,
if that helps you or helps the healthcare provider. We
are here locally. Obviously, we've expanded now to eight facilities
fully functional. We're about to launch another four in the
next month. With our goal, as you knew from day
one when we met, we want to be at least

(13:38):
in fifty facilities in the state of Ohio by the
end of the year.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Well, I hope we can help achieve that goal. I
truly do, and I know my listeners are willing to
help out they had before. And you know, to the
extent you didn't get to hear the Cunningham Sisters sing
on my program, and you want to know what you're
in for if you make a donation, just go to
YouTube and type in Cunningham's Sisters and it'll probably pop
up Cunningham's Sisters on the voice and if you connect

(14:04):
to that link, there's several videos of them, and some
of them are several years old, and there's I'd see
they posted one as recently as a month ago under
the moniker the Cunningham Sister. So check it out. You're
in for a real treat and you'll know exactly what's
in store for you when you make that donation. They're
just lovely.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Singers, they are. And I will also tell you we've
had a couple of your listeners who did donate last
time but said, hey, my parents are states away, and
we're like, hey, no problem, we'll make a video for you.
Oh cool, and so yes, So they were willing if
we have parents on other coats or miles away. I mean, hey,

(14:43):
they'll fly they see. Was so funny. She's like, hey,
I'll fly there if we need to do and we
laughed and they said, no, just can we make a video?
So we are we can't make videos? Is that easier
to get off to them? But they're so gracious and
we're so excited that they're is in the right place
and that they're partnering with us. As far as we

(15:05):
can see, So that's what's really exciting to us.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Well, again, your mission is consistent with their mission. So
I just I think it's just lovely what they're doing.
And wouldn't that be neat to get a YouTube or
a little video of them. It's like getting a singing telegram.
It's personalized to your loved one, you know.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, hey, at the end of the day,
that's what life's about, right, we need to be here
for each other. And again, can't thank your listeners enough.
Alert response technology it's simple. We are just trying to
figure out the why and get there quicker and faster.
But more importantly for the healthcare providers, I just my

(15:47):
heart breaks when I think of a single healthcare provider,
you know, tending to thirty patients from eleven a you
know PM till seven am in the morning by themselves
with no help.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Well and then well, and more fundamentally, how bad they
have to feel. I'm sure it's like in some small respect,
it's like a surgeon who loses the patient. You know,
that impacts them absolutely personally. So you know, they they're
running around trying to tend to all these folks and
they find out when they walk into someone's room because
the hour has come or the moment in the hour

(16:22):
on the schedule has come when they're supposed to check
on them, that that person has been wallowing in their
own filth for the last ten hours. I mean, that's
got to break their heart, like, damn it, how come
I wasn't here sooner to help this person? Or you know,
it could be a lot worse than that, like not
answering the call light in a timely manner that could
have been something extremely serious.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah, and or a lot of times the other way too.
We've been recently dehydration is such an issue, and if
somebody hasn't been changed or haven't been wet in over
five hours, that's a problem. I mean that right there
tends to show, hey, we need to push fluids because

(17:05):
we're not getting any kind of moisture alert. We're not
getting any kind of BM alert, and that could lead
to something very bad, like a fecal impaction, which could
require additional medical attention. That cannot be so good. So,
you know, this alert response technology tells a story, a

(17:26):
story that we've never ever been able to identify before
because it's just been like protocol every two hours, which
doesn't work. Go you know, check on them. And even
if they're asleep in the middle of the night. This
is another thing that's just been so incredible. You don't
have to disturb somebody and wake them up to change

(17:47):
them or stick your hand down the breeze to determine
if it's wet or moistu or not. You can let
them sleep because again you're comforted to know that alert
response technology will tell you. The BIE only system will
tell you if they are wet and need to be changed.
If not, let them sleep well.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
And you just illustrated another fundamental beautiful thing behind this technology.
The healthcare provider doesn't have to do that with this technology.
The technology says whether it's wet down there or not.
You know, not a handy.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yet, Yes, And think of those ventatients that don't have
a voice, that can't hit their call light. This violent
system has become their voice.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Patty, It's been wonderful having in the program. It's always
uplifting to know how much effect and impact you're having
for the good for these seniors and these facilities and
heart the number four Seniors dot org is where you'll
find them. And again just check out you two for
the Cunningham sisters. You'll be blown away. They are extremely
talented coming to a loved one near you. If you

(18:54):
make a contribution, Patty, keep up the great work. We'll
talk again soon.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
All right, Brian, Thanks to all your listeners. We love
you all so much.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
I appreciate that I love them too. They're good people
out there. Seven fifty to fifty five krs DE Talk station.
Also good people Foreign exchange. Get your car fixed for
less money than the dealer buy well, and sometimes I'll
buy a lot, you know. And the crews out there
they know different ways, like sometimes you know, maybe fixing
into the complete way. You know, start oh, here's what
we have to do. You got to go this, this, this,

(19:24):
and this, and if you get the OEM part, it's
going to be this. And you're looking at a bill
that's pretty high, a lot higher if it's at the
dealer astin the team out there. They can get creative
in ways of maybe getting through a repair job well
that having to go the full freight. Maybe you're struggling
financially a little bit at the time and you're like, no,
I don't have a four thousand dollars or whatever to

(19:46):
do that. Sometimes they have creative solutions get you through problems.
And that's what it's all about. A foreign exchange saving
you money for imported cars and Tesla's. They're the ones
to talk to a SE certified mess technicians. They know
how to work on your car. They have access to
your manufacturer's technical information, software updates and all that and

(20:09):
less money, full warranty on parts and service. You know
you're gonna get it done right. Give them a call.
