Why How's Mom?

From a Long-Term POA

I spent many months driving 2 hours back and forth to my mother's care center just to keep tabs on her vitals and get basic updates.  I often arranged my visits to time a meeting with the right doctor, to ask the right question, and to get info about medications and upcoming appointments.

I lived the difficulties and felt the stress present at both the facility and family ends of these communications.  Luckily, I stumbled upon Matt Prasek - who was implementing How's Mom at my mother’s facility.

In short order, I experienced first-hand the benefits of the platform, and signed on to help Matt build our company beyond its Indiana roots.

Why How's Mom?

A Grandson's Experience

My grandfather suffered a serious injury while I was in college, and I spent countless hours at his nursing home, working with his caregivers.  As a student I felt bad constantly badgering facility staff for updates and more information.

I'm always looking for a "better way" and started researching senior care communication tools for my entrepreneurship class.  My senior project was named Best New Venture at Ball State, and I started How's Mom shortly thereafter.

Since much of what I sought to do didn't exist, we've had to open many doors to create the platform you can experience today. Its been a rewarding effort to bring connections to families living what I went through.
