I am a caregiver: A message from our Business Leader

Our mission has never been clearer: help seniors be safe, keep loved ones connected, and ease the stress and worry of families. I know firsthand what it means to be a family caregiver. My wife and I have been helping to care for her father since he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s – while at home, and now in the senior living community we settled him into earlier this year. Who could have imagined months later that we would still be in the midst of a pandemic and unable to spend precious time with him? I hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well and that soon we are all able to share a meal with our families at the same table.

I am proud to lead Philips Lifeline, an organization dedicated to supporting family caregivers and their loved ones. During these challenging times, we need to do more for the millions of people whose lives have been dramatically impacted by the pandemic.
