6. Senior Mobile App leads to Dovetailcare.us
Press about Dovetail Care
Perhaps Dovetail Care’s best feature is its accessibility.
With a plan of working with medical institutions and
insurance companies, Dovetail endeavors to become
financially accessible to seniors as a value-added service.
Recognizing that the elder population is both in need of
the most assistance and often the least able to afford it,
Dovetail Care is working to make its software part of a
combination of care, one that is not an extra cost, but
another tool available to those that need it most.
The elder population is in a unique position. It is growing
and in need of the most help, but in the position to help
itself the least. After hospitalization, their recovery times
are longer, their complications are greater and the
resources at their disposal to deal with these problems
are fewer than for the younger population. Managing
these problems is important to all of us, and Dovetail
Care is a tool to help do just that.
