Where we are well waiting the historic vote by the general assembly.
In which something like 82 thirds majority.
Of member nations are expected to effectively recognize.
A Palestinian.
State that moment of history due to unfold somewhere in the 3 PM eastern -- later this -- -- -- I'm now let's get to a small business spotlight all weekly spotlight as it would imply on small business -- joined now from our DC bureau by Kenneth campaign.
Who is back there and CEO.
Of end to -- which has.
Some very innovative solutions full.
Alternatives and affordable alternatives.
To nursing homes good to see Ken thanks for being here think it's gonna be here -- it.
Tell me about -- cottage I saw some pictures of this it's an extraordinary idea I explain -- viewers how it looks.
Well what it is it's a small dwelling that actually goes on the caregivers property or the family members property.
And it functions as a nursing home or -- hospital room.
But -- -- close proximity of your family so that they -- able to participate in your care.
It has all the technology.
Can be remotely access from literally anywhere in the world and you can do that just in the backyard.
One of your -- house.
Why -- so you all literally.
According.
A very -- I guess the one of the better expression a very high tech comfortable shed in the backyard and you couldn't put.
An ailing relative in that time they can get all the cat that they need there it's actually hospital's standard cat.
It is and all of the technology that you would find in a hospital room.
Is in the mad caddies and all of this can be accessed remotely either by a -- Europe position or caregiver who wanted to do that.
And the most important thing is it allows the -- to participate in the process of getting care.
Brand that Arab -- how did you come up with this idea can -- did have what was the original concept -- -- -- dotted.
Well I was several years ago is doing PH -- research and I was traveling throughout the rest of the world.
And I begin to notice how differently that other cultures -- care of aging loved ones and and how that whole time -- that whole piece.
In one's life with so much different than it was here in the United States.
And where -- assertive create distance and the people in institutions.
And I begin to ask myself the question why is -- so different everywhere else.
And one of the things that I concluded was that we didn't have a lot of options here in the United States and so.
I begin to look for what I would think of as an American solution.
And and this is the one that we came up with -- Americans are intensely private.
They want the room space.
And that both of these groups of people one of their own space and yet as we age we we want to be close to our family and so.
We saw this as as a solution that.
Would be something that a lot of people in the United States would want.
-- it's a fascinating -- idea how is business Dooley getting a lot of interest.
We in the courts -- there was a Washington Post article.
Monday and since that time we've probably had.
22000.
To maybe 2500 inquiries.
And we have a beta site right outside of Washington here and and Alexandria.
And this is what we call proof of concept than and we have a grandmother who actually lives there and has lived their for the last four months and and has found that experience to be what we had to hope that would be.
Are and if somebody wants to end -- get their hands on a med -- -- -- they go about it and what is it gonna cost them.
-- you would go to our web site which is mad -- dot com.
And it could cost depending on how you wanted an outfit.
How you wanted it.
And as far as all of the different technology.
Anywhere from about 55000 dollars for the dwelling to a 225000.
Dollars.
It can be as complicated as being -- -- -- so that he can be a sterile environment.
If you would need that and so there is a whole range of price depending on what the need would be but it would be in the backyard once again.
Right it's an extraordinary concept and one -- show up.
A lot of people with the ailing relatives -- an aging relatives might wanna take a look at and if they do is Ken said.
Meant -- cult AG dot com is the web -- I can depend founder and CEO -- -- to -- thank you very much indeed for being with us and not telling us all about it can.
