In today’s podcast episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Giancarlo Paolillo, whose background in law enforcement has inspired him to develop a cutting-edge mobile application designed to enhance safety and communication in elder care. Drawing from his experience on the police force, Giancarlo recognized the urgent need for real-time information sharing and reliable systems that support both caregivers and families.
His app—available for both Android and iOS—is versatile and scalable, making it ideal for individuals, small businesses, and large organizations alike. The platform allows users to document real-time biometric testing results, track medications taken, and identify who the current caregiver is. It also includes a powerful feature that enables users to request assistance during a crisis, ensuring all relevant parties are notified immediately.
Whether you're caring for a loved one at home or managing care across an organization, this app is a game-changer. It empowers families, caregivers, and health professionals with the tools they need to ensure safety, transparency, and quick response when it matters most.
Giancarlo reminds us that technology, when used with compassion and intelligence, can truly transform the way we protect and care for our elders.
To reach Giancarlo
I want to take a moment to personally invite you to something very special.
If you're a caregiver or someone approaching retirement, and you're feeling like it’s time to start thinking about your future — not just everyone else’s — then I’d love to welcome you into “A Planning Lab for Family Caregivers and Retirees.”
This is a 5-week online experience where we slow down and explore important questions:
- What do I want my next chapter to look like?
- How do I prepare emotionally and practically for the future?
- And how can I start caring for myself the way I care for others?
In this space, you’ll find guidance, clarity, and community. We’ll talk about planning ahead, navigating difficult conversations, creating meaningful connections, and prioritizing your own well-being.
The Lab begins on June 4th, and spots are limited to keep it personal and supportive.

You’ve given so much.
Now it’s time to give a little back to yourself.
I hope to see you there.
A Time to Care: The Caregivers Podcast
I’m Isabel Melgarejo, and I was raised never to talk about the uncomfortable things in life and to put myself after everyone else’s needs (just like any other woman I know). In college, after Dad’s passing, I had to change all my beliefs. I had to talk about death, about my mom’s future, and I had to ask for a LOT of favors.
After connecting with many caregivers when I moved to Texas and remembering one of the toughest seasons in my life, I created a program to help caregivers navigate these very uncomfortable conversations and help them through their particular journeys with their loved ones. In this podcast, I want to share advice on how to prioritize your mental health, how to have those difficult conversations, and how to talk you out of feeling guilty and overwhelmed.
