In my line of work, I encounter so many families that are caring for their elderly familiy members.  Most of the families that I serve really want their Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle or Elderly Friend to remain at home and as independent as possible.  The anxiety of not knowing what's going on with them at any given moment is very real.  Wondering if they've gotten out of bed, have they eaten, have they taken their medications, are they safe in general.  I was one of those adult childrencaring for my elderly parents.  They lived about 30 minutes from me, which is not very far when everything is going well but very, very far away when they needed me there in a hurry.  I wish I had met Chris Lazar with BlueCastle,LLC 10 years ago.  He would have saved me lots of time, money, stress and given me peace of mind.   BlueCastle, LLC is a company that serves both individuals and corporations.  They install the alarm, audio/visual, hometheater, total comfort systems within homes and a multitude of services for corporations.  What really got me excited was their product for the aging population.  A device that will send an e-mail notification or alert to a cell phone if your Mom or Dad has not gotten out of bed by a preset time in the morning, or if Mom or Dad has not gotten up from their favorite chair in however many hours the system is set to.  It will also let you know if the refrigerator has not been opened for a designated period of time and if they have traveled farther than a preset area from their home. 

 As a concierge, I often will take over the moitoring of these family members when my clients are traveling out of the country.  My clients are confident that I will take care of any situation that may arise but I'm thrilled to have this technology available to assist me with this task.  For more detailed info, call Chris directly at 404-246-7798, visit BlueCastle on the web at:  www.betteroffblue.com  or email him at:  chris@betteroffblue.com
