Inventive Business Concept Helps Fill Insurance Gap

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 5, 2010 -- July, 2010 - The new healthcare bill promises that 94% of Americans will be covered with at least basic health coverage by 2014. While the rhetoric continues, statistics show an increasing need for in-home care. In fact, over 50% of all those needing care receive that care at home. Further, 80% of that care is provided by friends and family who need tools and equipment that are not usually covered by any form of insurance.

FunctionalFlowers.com is an ingenious idea conceived by an occupational therapist as a practical way to connect people with the tools they need to remain as independent as possible through health changes across the life span.

Mobility aids, bathroom & kitchen safety aids as well as fun gifts for those recovering from illness or injury are available in a gift registry that allows friends and family easy access to the practical needs as well as the desires of the registrant.

Barbara Ingram-Rice, the business founder, has served as an Occupational Therapist for 27 years and has first-hand experience with the needs of those recovering from a life-altering illness or accident. She is available for seminars titled: Create Your Personal Independence Day - Tools for the Job of Living.
