Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) March 26, 2008 -- CBS News recently highlighted Tender Tidings as a new Internet based solution for caregivers of the elderly. www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=3958331n

With www.TenderTidingSeniors.com, family members can access video from any computer with a high speed Internet connection.

Josh Landis, CBS New York reported, "Judy DeHaas lives more than 600 miles from her father, Ken, but she sees him every day. From her home in Denver, Judy logs onto a website connected to a camera in her father's home in Dallas. He has trouble walking after suffering a heart-attack and two strokes. The 77-year-old has help from his wife and caregivers, but that doesn't stop his daughter from worrying."

Judy says the video link to her father delivers more than peace of mind. "It's a conscious effort to connect with your parents."

"It's a picture worth more than a thousand words," continues Landis, "It's a priceless way for this father and daughter to stay close."

Besides the high-quality wireless camera, TenderTidingsSeniors.com offers a collaborative, on-line calendar so family members can keep up with important appointments and events. They also have access to convenient notepads and reminder tools for communicating with in-home caregivers.

"With the cost of one year in a nursing home being over $50,000 and assisted living costs approximately $3,000 per month," says Elaine Osteen a founder of TenderTidingsSeniors.com, "we feel that TenderTidingsSeniors.com is an inexpensive way to balance the desire of seniors to stay at home and the concern of children and grandchildren to check in on their elderly loved ones."
