About this listen

Some products are invented. This one was lived into.

Jodi Bellam spent more than a decade inside elder care before The Blue Hug existed. As owner of Better Off At Home, an in-home care company serving Metro Atlanta families, she wasn't observing the challenges of assisted bathing from a distance. She was in the room.

This episode tells the story behind the product: the failed first prototype sewn in a craft room, the months of fabric testing, the marine grade zipper that finally worked with one hand, and the question that drove every decision. What does the person wearing this actually need in the most vulnerable moment of their day?

Dignity, comfort, and independence were never features to be added. They were the starting point.

We're here for dignity, independence, and comfort. Share this with someone in the caregiving journey with you. You're not doing this alone. Bathe with us. We're The Blue Hug.
