After a near-fatal fall, life has changed for 79-year-old Marianne and her 82-year-old husband John, an avid golfer who now spends nearly all his time with Marianne. He can’t imagine leaving her side while she recovers from the accident. The two are always on the lookout for ways to help them through the recovery process and beyond. Watch as Comfort Keepers introduces the possibility of having a caregiver help John and Marianne with their situation. Also, Tracfone offers a more affordable, senior-friendly cell phone solution (bigger screen, smaller plan) to fit the Nicholases’ needs. And finally, ADT Health arrives at the Nicholas home to offer its medical alert necklace and monitoring, helping John and Marianne enjoy the freedom of living independently.
