July’s Spotlight Speaker Was Kira Reginato. Thank You for sharing out time time with our Group!
Kira Reginato: Elder Care Consultant, Speaker, Author, and Business Development Director for the app “Caring”
As a geriatric care manager, Kira has helped thousands of older adults and their families over the past 30 years.
She hosted the long-running radio shows “Call Kira About Aging!” and “The Elder Care Show.” Free podcasts are available at Callkira.com.
In her book—Tips for Helping Your Aging Parents (without losing your mind), she shares best practices for taking care of a loved one, and yourself.
Kira will demo the fantastic new app Caring she helped to develop. It was created to make life more manageable for family caregivers and you can use it, too. We think you’ll be excited to show this to your clients so they have a tool to stay on top of caregiver tasks, get organized, and get answers to over 160 common caregiving questions.
Kira is excited to show you how this secure app can be used and shared so the caregiver responsibilities are not on one primary caregiver.
Free trial of Caring is available to download at the App Store and Google Play. More at Apps4Caring.com.
You will be one of the first in the world to see this app that we hope will revolutionize how we look after our loved ones.
Many thanks to AlmaVia of San Rafael for generously hosting our monthly meetings.
