Caregiver stories

One of my caregivers at Motherhealth uses her knowledge of whole foods cooking to her 92 year old client who was told by the doctor has few months to live. She fed her client with Filipino dish filled with bitter greens and all kinds of whole foods and her client lived for another 5 years.

Each day, she would hug and exercise his legs and give him enough sunshine in the morning hours. She cared for him like her father.

In many of my clients and clients in care homes who were served gourmet whole foods, they survive longer than others in care homes and their homes fed with frozen or processed foods.

As I interact with seniors, I dance with them and listened to their stories of beautiful memories of time past. They know when something is wrong that they cannot sleep, cannot eliminate or gets constipated and just cannot move.  Many of them live longer because their family members spent time massaging their head for 30min each day during their visits.

Many emergencies are prevented because many caregivers went through a training and knows holistic ways of caring.

I ensured that caregivers complete a daily log detailing food taken, meds taken, time of elimination, presence of constipation, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, time spent in walking and exercise, and more observations that should be relayed to their doctors. And we do relay this message to their children and during doctor’s visits.

We are looking for investors for a mobile app that will speed learning by caregivers, communication of health data generated by the patient, use of telemedicine, genetic information and other health markers/risk formula to empower all members of the health team especially the consumers. Learn from the global health data and use all these data insights toward actionable health outcomes.

Health IT

Integrate and analyze data from across the community—including medical, behavioral, and social information—to provide the big picture of patient and population health. Further, the operational information about moving a patient through the care process (e.g., outreach, education, arranging a ride, etc.) is vital to tuning care delivery as a holistic system rather than just optimizing the points of care alone. This innovative approach consolidates diverse and fragmented data in a single comprehensive care plan, with meaningful insights that empowers the full spectrum of care, from clinical providers (e.g., physicians, nurses, behavioral health professionals, staff) to non-clinical providers (e.g., care managers, case managers, social workers), to patients and their caregivers. Armed with granular patient and population insights that span the continuum, care teams are able to proactively address gaps in patient care, allocate scarce resources, and strategically identify at-risk patients in time for cost-effective interventions.
