Solving Life's Next Chapter Podcast - Cutting Edge Information for Your Powerful Senior Years
Remember college shopping with your kids to find the best school for them?
Or, the other milestone of getting married and you had to find the place for your wedding and all the accoutrements?
Navigating the unknown is tricky, at first. So knowing the issues and milestones as you age and how to make good choices to address them for your aging parents or even for yourself is critical.
Have you shared how you want you want your golden years to look with your family? Does your family know what you want to happen when you are no longer here?
Do they know your wishes about your health care so they can help you in the best way possible if you are unable to tell them when that time comes?
What about your plans for living when you can no longer live alone?
Knowing these personal choices and the answers to these questions is a guessing game. Plus, just like paying for your dream wedding was a concern, so is paying for in-home help as you age. And moving to a home that offers assistance on the campus such as an assisted living community can also be pricy. What's involved in downsizing to a smaller home so that you can liquidate some equity to help pay for future services, such as caregivers? Or what kind of plan is needed to manage daily life if a family member receives a dementia diagnosis?
Did you know there are dozens of ways to answer these questions? There are!
But, which are YOUR best answers? Few of us ever thinks about managing aging issues, but the truth is, it happens to every person in every walk of life, every single day. There are 60,000 baby boomers turning 65 EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Listen to our Solving Life's Next Chapter Podcast and get to know me and my vetted, friendly guests who have answers we all need and ideas we can weigh as we age or as we help our parents age.
Let's Solve YOUR Life's Next Chapter together!

September is Fall Prevention Awareness Month
September is Fall Prevention Awareness Month, and it's timely that our "Solving Life’s Next Chapter" radio show is covering Electronic Caregiver and its Addison Care virtual caregiving solution.
What is Electronic Caregiver?
Electronic Caregiver, Inc. (ECG) is a health-tech company specializing in virtual caregiving solutions. Their flagship product, Addison Care, is an AI-powered, 3D animated, avatar-based virtual caregiver designed to bring continuous support into the home.
What is Addison Care?
Addison Care is a comprehensive virtual caregiving system that transforms the home into a "Smart Health Home." Here's what it offers:
- 24/7 AI Virtual Caregiver: A lifelike, animated avatar that interacts using voice or touch to guide, comfort, and assist users—including those aged 5 to 105—across daily routines
- Real-Time Vital Monitoring: Connects with Bluetooth devices (e.g., glucometers, blood pressure cuffs, pulse oximeters, weight scales, or devices integrated with smartwatches like Samsung Galaxy Watch7) for ongoing health tracking and alerts
- Medication Reminders & Adherence Feedback: Provides audible or visual prompts, tracks compliance, and notifies caregivers or clinicians if medication is missed.
- Emergency Response & Telecare Integration: Offers prompt alerts and wellness checks, linkups with Telecare nurses or family, virtual consultations, and emergency services.
- Companionship, Cognitive & Physical Support: Helps reduce social isolation through interactive conversation, cognitive games, personalized environments, cultural customizations, exercises for strength and fall prevention, and mood-boosting engagement.
- Addison Aware (Activity Monitoring): A Wi-Fi motion-sensing system that tracks activity patterns, sleep, room transitions, and flags anomalies—all without intrusive wearables or cameras.
- CMS-Reimbursable & Clinically Integrated: Recognized and reimbursable under Medicare’s Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM) codes. Integrated with EHRs like Athena One to streamline clinical workflows and billing.
Who Benefits Most from Addison Care? Addison Care is best suited for:
- Seniors Aging in Place: Especially those at risk of falls, medication non-adherence, social isolation, or cognitive decline. Its fall-prevention routines and timely reminders are invaluable.
- Individuals with Chronic Health Conditions: Such as diabetes, hypertension, COPD—conditions where continuous monitoring and adherence may prevent complications.
- Those in Rural or Underserved Areas: Where medical visits are sparse—Addison has already launched in places like rural Alaska, helping bridge gaps in care.
- Home Care Agencies and Providers: Addison allows for virtual “24/7” care support without added staffing, improves client retention, smooths scheduling gaps, and offers a competitive edge.
- Family Caregivers Seeking Relief: Whether they live locally or far away, Addison Aware and the virtual avatar offer peace of mind, oversight, and real-time updates on loved ones.
- Medicare-Covered Patients: Because Addison is covered under RPM and CCM reimbursement, it’s acc
