Hello World – We are TechGnome. Nice to meet you!
We may not have met in person yet, but we likely have something very significant in common.
According to a recent AARP report, there are over 63 million people in the U.S. currently providing care for a loved one with a disability or complex medical condition. Of those, 59 million are caring for an adult. If you’ve found your way to this page, chances are you are one of these caregivers.
You likely already know that caregiving responsibilities bring a unique and often overwhelming set of challenges marked by:
A complete lack of free time, even for the most basic self-care.
Limited workplace flexibility or understanding.
Financial strain caused by reduced working hours or increased expenses.
Physical and mental exhaustion as your own needs move to the back burner.
A knowledge gap in navigating complex health and safety systems.
Overall lack of structural support to help carry the load.
How can we help you?
While we at TechGnome don’t claim to have the answer for every obstacle, what we do offer is technology solutions that can help bring peace of mind to families—and hopefully give you, the caregiver, a little breathing room.
We work with families to understand health and safety concerns for their aging loved ones, and then help identify technology solutions that help ensure senior safety and independence. We consider your loved one’s comfort level with technology (even if it’s zero!), their cognitive abilities, proximity of the caregivers, and your family’s privacy concerns — because no two families are the same.
Even better, once we help you choose the right technology, we handle the setup for you—so you can start benefiting from it with little to no effort on your part. And rest assured, we’ll be there for continued tech support. Let’s be real - your life is busy enough already.
What do these tech solutions offer me?
Technology solutions offer caregivers and families many benefits. They reduce the constant ‘What if’ concerns that consume you, the caregiver. You can finally breathe a bit easier that there are mechanisms in place to contact you in case of an incident, even if your loved one can’t get to a phone. You can reclaim more of your time back.
