A life saved. A young woman brought back from cardiac arrest thanks to a community responder armed with a CellAED® and an organized response system. This story reinforces why I believe so strongly in the power of community volunteer responders carrying ultra-portable AEDs as a promising and viable strategy for managing sudden cardiac arrest. Conventional public access defibrillation models—while important—are not enough. The integration of revolutionary technology, like the CellAED®, and platforms such as GoodSAM or PulsePoint that connect responders to emergency dispatch, represents the future of cardiac arrest response. The CellAED® is a compact, lightweight device that can fit into a backpack, purse, or glovebox. When combined with the rapid mobilization of civilian volunteers or community responders via these innovative systems we can delivery opportunities for early defibrillation that were not possible in the past. This story is a testament to what happens when we rethink the limits of public access defibrillation and embrace portable, connected solutions. Let’s continue to push boundaries to make cardiac arrest survival stories the rule, not the exception. #cellaedsaveslives #innovation #medtech #technology #suddencardiacarrest

In the past three weeks, I’ve had the honor of caring for five decedents under the age of 17. At Return Home, we firmly believe that no family should have to bear the financial burden of saying goodbye to a child. That’s why we don’t charge anything for these services, including a laying-in ceremony to help families find a moment of peace and connection. Yesterday, as I worked on an autopsy repair, someone asked me how this work feels different. The truth is, it’s profoundly different. This experience isn’t just about a single moment of care—it’s about shaping a family’s entire relationship with death. For many families, the last time they saw their child was in the chaos of paramedics trying to save them or when the medical examiner took them from their home. Now, I have the privilege of creating a new and final memory for them—one where their child is beautiful, peaceful, and at rest. In that moment, in the prep room, I am nowhere else. This is their time, and I am fully committed to them. My focus, my care, and my heart are wholly dedicated to ensuring that this child is prepared with the utmost dignity and love. Reuniting a child with their family under these circumstances is both the hardest and most meaningful work I’ve ever done. It’s a reminder of why I chose this path: to bring dignity, comfort, and healing to families in their darkest moments. If you’re ever looking for a way to support families experiencing loss, consider how we can all contribute to compassionate, meaningful care that changes lives.

It's FAQ Friday again! Question: I live in New York City. My loved one, my Dad lives in California. He is showing signs of forgetfulness and we have no relatives on the west coast. How do I manage his senior care? Answer: The situation you are in is one of the main reasons we founded CARESULTANTS. The additional burden of figuring out how to find and manage the needed care can be very complex on families who are out of state. We can examine the needs your Father has and provide clear next steps with/for you so that you can stay where you are while we oversee the process. Once we define the right care plan together we can coordinate and manage the journey. #FAQs #Caresultants #CaregivingJourney
