What is your personal connection to SafelyYou?
I have a deeply personal connection to SafelyYou’s mission because of my grandmother, who helped raise me and was my absolute rock growing up. When she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, it was heartbreaking to see her forget me. Despite the heartache, I wanted to honor the love and care she showed me by making sure she remained safe and well cared for, even as her condition advanced. My family and I took shifts around-the-clock to keep her from falling—but I know that not every family can do that. That’s why I’m so motivated by SafelyYou’s work. I believe its solutions will transform how we protect those with cognitive impairments, and I’m driven by the chance to help give more families the comfort of knowing their loved ones are supported, especially when it’s not possible to be there every moment.
