“During my time with CareYaya, I’ve had the pleasure to care for three different families and I think one of the biggest things I’ve taken away from it is, as an aspiring physician, you learn about the patient interactions.  You learn about what is needed as a caregiver.”

And the importance of listening.  Altobelli was among the guests on the latest edition of the What’s Next Living Longer Better Smarter podcast…which I co-host with Mary Furlong.

The Car Mom's tips for family travel

The Car Mom's tips for family travel

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin.   Here we are at the start of the summer travel season….lots of folks have been on the road this long holiday weekend.    Kelly Stumpe, known as The Car Mom….is offering some tips for family travel.  One is to be prepared by making sure your insurance has rental reimbursement coverage to cover the cost of a rental car…if your vehicle should need repair….

“If your car needs to go into the shop to get repaired, it’s not one or two days.  Entgerprise data tells us that on average,  you’re looking at up to two weeks.   Imagine a family, the dead of summer, being left without their vehicle for two weeks.   It would really throw a wrench into their plans.   So this extra coverage gives you peace of mind and you’re not stuck paying for a rental car out of pocket.”

Good idea to check your policy.  Make sure to check out our full interviews…video too.  And there’s more from Kelly at  www.thecarmomofficial.com.
