The CareGiver Partnership Offers Doorstep Delivery of Adult Diapers and Incontinence Supplies

Neenah, Wis. (PRWEB) November 14, 2012

The CareGiver Partnership, a national retailer of incontinence products and other home health care supplies, is addressing the needs of incontinent Americans by offering doorstep delivery on any of its products, with free shipping year-round on orders $ 50+. Founder Lynn Wilson says it?s a convenient alternative to making frequent store trips for adult diapers, wipes, bed pads, bladder control pads and other incontinence supplies.

?With 25 million Americans with transient or chronic urinary incontinence ? including 50 percent of elderly who are homebound ? doorstep delivery is especially convenient for those unable to travel to stores and for family caregivers,? says Wilson. ?Costs can be higher than discount stores, but caregivers tell us when they consider the free home delivery, never running out, the high cost of gas today and the value of their time, it?s worth it.

?In addition, it?s difficult to get answers in stores. Stock clerks often are uninformed and pharmacists are busy behind the counter. Our team is extremely knowledgeable about all the 500 incontinence products we offer ? 10 times more than most stores ? and being out of stock does not happen, unlike stores,? says Wilson. ?First-time buyers often have no idea which product is right for them. Many spend over $ 100 trying bags of products that don?t meet their needs and then settle. That?s why we offer more than 100 products to try before you buy.?

The CareGiver Partnership, rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau, is designed around safety, security and ease. Although it carries 3,000 home health care products, the site?s large pages and absence of clutter and advertisements make it easy to shop, set up an account and order. Free caregiver resources include its first-to-the-world Incontinence Product Finder and thousands of links and articles. The site makes it easy to set up automatically scheduled doorstep delivery, with a patent-pending product-use estimation tool.

The CareGiver Partnership was formed in 2004 by the former global sector president of Kimberly-Clark, who led the development of Depend and Poise incontinence products. It is now led by co-founder Lynn Wilson and a team of women who are current or former caregivers. The company?s offerings go beyond home health care products to include personal service and a library of resources and information for family caregivers, including a blog.

?Thousands of caregivers and their family members count on us for fast, convenient and reliable delivery of incontinence supplies,? Wilson adds.

The CareGiver Partnership is a national direct-to-consumer retailer of home healthcare products for incontinence, skin care, mobility, daily living aids, nutrition support and more. In its sixth year of providing products and services that help caregivers and loved ones maintain personal dignity, the company also offers an online library of more than 1,200 family caregiver resources and personal service by experts in caregiving.

Geriatric Care Managers Offer Hints for Adult Children Visiting Aging Parents Over the Holidays

Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) December 20, 2011

Unpaid bills piling up, outdated food in the kitchen cabinets, medications not being taken properly are all potential warning signs that aging parents may need help. Holiday visits are often a time when adult children may notice red flags and become concerned about the health and well-being of beloved parents. The National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers offers some tips for adult children and families visiting aging relatives over the holiday season:

A few signs that may indicate the need for professional evaluation include:

Do you notice more than usual clutter piling up, unopened mail and unpaid bills around the house?

Does your parent appear to be suddenly underweight, unusually lethargic or lacking his or her usual appetite?

Does your Mom or Dad suddenly seem to be forgetful about taking medications or frequently repeating themselves?

?Holidays are special family times, but they also give us a time to step back from work, child-rearing and other demands to notice when things may be amiss with aging loved ones,? said Susan Fleischer, president of NAPGCM. ?Geriatric care managers can help adult children and families evaluate concerns and if necessary devise appropriate, individualized care plans.?
