I am Karen Shiffert, the lady in the picture with the man in a wheelchair, my husband Don.  Don has Parkinson’s disease since 1998.  We are married 31 years.  I have been his primary care giver since he was diagnosed 10 years ago. My talent for solving problems has led me to create items to help care for my husband, both to ease his discomfort and to make the job of giving care a little easier.

Caregivers Aide, LLC was created in 2008.  This is my second business; the first is Remember When, a clothing and leather repair and alteration business which I tend to when time permits while still caring for my husband.

Care-Giver-R-Lift™ is my product line of repositioning devices: the Skid Seat™ (Patent Pending), and the Bed Sled™.  They are designed to be adaptable to most situations.

The process of bringing the Skid Seat™ and Bed Sled™ to reality has been a challenging but rewarding experience. Patent applied for, new company formed, web site created, brochures printed, searching for the right fabrics, all the while new variations of the existing Skid Seat™ and Bed Sled™ versions are being explored.

Now the best part:  getting to share these items with you to help you in your daily tasks.

Future offerings may include other items I have used and found helpful in giving care.  I welcome comments and suggestions from you, items you have found useful, items you would like to have made to make your job easier.  If you would like to share methods or shortcuts you have discovered for dealing with specific tasks with others, e-mail your ideas to skidseat@aol.com.

As to business, I hope to make your experience with Caregivers Aide, LLC one of the bright spots of your day.  Your e-mails or calls will be handled with caring courtesy. Your questions will be answered (check the FAQs). Your order will be processed and shipped in a timely manner.  Buy with confidence – your satisfaction is guaranteed.
