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.

Neenah, Wis. (PRWEB) August 15, 2012

In regions where temperatures start to cool in late August or early September, it?s a safer, more comfortable time for seniors to enjoy outdoor recreation and travel, says Lynn Wilson, Founder of The CareGiver Partnership, a national retailer of incontinence products and other home healthcare supplies.

?An end-of-summer vacation doesn?t have to be extravagant,? says Wilson. ?From simple day trips to a weekend away, it?s a great time for families to get together as back-to-school season nears.?

New Partnership To Support Youth Education in Africa Encourages Holiday Shoppers to Buy a T-shirt that will Help Build A School

Saturday, December 10th, 2011


Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) December 08, 2011

In an innovative new collaboration, Roots Canada and two leading Toronto-based organizations are raising funds to provide education for youth in Africa. On Thursday, December 8, Roots Canada will begin selling specially designed T-shirts to support the official launch of the ?This Shirt Built a School in Africa? initiative. In a three-way partnership involving Roots, the Michael ?Pinball? Clemons Foundation (MPCF) and the Academy of Lions, the project focuses on raising funds to support the building of schools in Sierra Leone and Kenya, providing marginalized youth with much-needed educational opportunities.

Dubbing the day of the launch as ?Build A School Day,? the aim is to sell at least 500 shirts on the first day, the proceeds of which represent the amount needed to build one school. To help achieve this goal, Toronto Argonauts Vice-Chair and MPCF Co-Founder Michael ?Pinball? Clemons has enlisted the involvement of media and sports organizations and plans to have various prominent figures wear This Shirt in public in support of the cause.

?The commitment to build schools in Africa is only possible through the bounty of great, caring, compassionate Canadians,? says ?Pinball.? ?We hope many people will wear ?This Shirt? because it can help change lives forever in such a positive way. We owe special thanks to community builder and visionary of ?This Shirt? The Academy of Lions and to our friend and champion, the incomparable Bob McCown of Fan 590 Radio, for using his platform to ultimately give birth to This Shirt.?

Supporters are asked to direct all social media activities toward the project by changing their Facebook profile pictures to the image of This Shirt, and using the #ThisShirtBuildASchool hashtag on Twitter.

To track the initiative?s progress, ThisShirt.com will be updated regularly to provide information on where schools are being built, and how many have been constructed to date.

Retailing at $ 29.95 each, the 100% cotton T-shirts are designed by The Academy of Lions and made in Canada. They will be available in both men and women?s styles, and are offered in black with the project name printed in large white lettering. The shirts can be purchased online at roots.com with free shipping across Canada and the United States and at select Roots locations in Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa. All net proceeds will be donated to the MPCF.

The MPCF has committed to building 131 schools in seven countries in Africa through Free The Children?s Adopt A Village program for which it has raised two-thirds of the funding. Proceeds from ?This Shirt Built A School in Africa? will go toward creating schools specifically in Sierra Leone and Kenya.
