Keep Safe Care Makes First Strategic Hire, Plans for Expansion

Keep Safe Care Hires Ashton Rondon as it prepares to expand in Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Keep Safe Care, launched in Austin, Texas, announces it has hired Ashton Rondon as its Administrative Director to help with the expansion of Keep Safe Care’s Private-Duty-in-a Box2 concept across America. The company launched two years ago to address the growing cost and inefficiencies of the in-home private duty, personal services caregiving sector as well as to rectify some of the issues of low caregiver pay, truancy, and turnover.

Ashton Rondon brings over 15 years of extensive expertise in helping organizations grow and expand organically. As CEO Jeffrey Fry states, “This is a critical role in our expansion plans for Keep Safe Care. As is an experienced public relations, marketing, and project management practitioner, her expertise will be critical to help Keep Safe Care grow from one location in Austin, to many locations throughout the United States.” Mr. Fry continues, “Her know-how and operational and project management expertise will be essential in helping new licensed Affiliates successfully join and integrate into our growing network of Keep Safe Care locations.”

“I have been fortunate enough to have worked with some startups in the past which positively impacted their industries before they went on to be acquired,” states Ashton Rondon. She continues, “I joined Keep Safe Care due in part to what I see as a combination not to only disrupt the in-home care agency franchising model, but more importantly to address the lack of caregiver wages with their 2/3s Rule in caregiver pay. This significant increase in wages without increasing client costs is a calling to me, and I felt that I must be a part of this.”

The 2/3s Rule is Keep Safe Care’s breakthrough ability to pay its caregiver at least two-thirds of whatever the client rate is for any caregiving situation. This has been achieved in large part by how the company has vastly improved the efficiencies of running a private duty, personal care services agency.

Keep Safe Care is planning on initiating the sales of its software licenses for its innovative Private Duty Model in the last quarter of 2023. Mrs. Rondon will help accelerate the roll out of what the Company calls its “Private-Duty-in-a-Box2” concept. These software licenses will be priced at a level that allows Affiliates to open a private duty, in-home personal services caregiving agency for a fraction of the cost of a typical Franchise found in the United States today.

About Keep Safe Care

Keep Safe Care is about revolutionizing the way private duty agencies deliver care and manage caregivers. The company’s innovative approach changes the traditional model of big companies controlling franchisees, while combating the persistent issues of high caregiver truancy and turnover. Keep Safe Care’s goal is to reduce these chronic problems by employing technology to empower caregivers and those who are receiving care. With improved efficiencies, the company’s unique approach holds the promise of increasing a caregiver’s standard wage by 30% to 50%, while at the same time reducing operating costs by 20% to 35% over traditional private duty franchises.

Life Sciences’ Transformative $2.6 Billion Industry

Leave a comment


In recent years, various research domains and approaches employing RNA sequencing have gained significant momentum, gradually making inroads into clinical applications such as RNA-based therapeutics, vaccines, gene editing, and personalized medicine. The field of single-cell sequencing has experienced rapid expansion, while the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the scientific community’s familiarity with RNA analysis as a whole. Data analysis remains a pivotal component of this market, and, akin to other segments in the life sciences, numerous innovations are intertwined with artificial intelligence and cloud-based computing.

The RNA-Seq field has also demonstrated significant potential for translation into clinical applications. Consequently, it has exhibited robust growth compared to other life science research techniques, including other next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications. NGS technologies have emerged as powerful tools that enable laboratories to conduct high-impact experiments at reduced costs, yielding new categories of data and thereby expanding possibilities in biomedical research.

Since its inception nearly two decades ago, the adoption of NGS has become pervasive in the life sciences. Continuous technological enhancements have led to improved performance and output, with prices gradually decreasing, albeit with some stabilization. Laboratories have harnessed this technology for a diverse range of applications, including various forms of RNA sequencing.

Cohen & Juda, P.A. Announces $4.8 M Verdict Against FPL

Leave a comment


In this case, FPL denied it was negligent despite not following its own safety protocol for restoring power after a storm or complying with the National Electric Safety Code. As a result of the electric shock, the plaintiff was diagnosed with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and post-concussion syndrome, which triggered and accompanied PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), panic disorder, anticipatory and general anxiety, depression, migraines, double vision, and vertigo. Despite the absence of thermal burns, the electrical shock affected the brain, causing detrimental effects on all aspects of life. Cohen and Juda provided dedicated representation to help the jury understand the nature and consequences of the injuries, ultimately securing a just compensation for the loss suffered.

Harvey M. Cohen, Partner at Cohen and Juda, emphasizes the importance of fighting for justice in cases where corporations like FPL have acted negligently, stating, “This recent jury verdict is not just about monetary gain. It sheds light on the devastating impact of corporate negligence on individuals and communities and exemplifies our firm’s unwavering commitment to seeking justice and advocating for our clients’ rights. We will continue to hold corporations like FPL accountable for electric shock or electrocutions, and stand up against their wrongdoing.”

Gary H. Juda, Partner at Cohen and Juda, emphasizes the significance of this jury verdict for all parties involved and society as a whole. “Corporations are responsible for ensuring the well-being of individuals, employees, and communities. This jury verdict provides validation and a sense of justice for our client, who endured hardships due to FPL’s negligence and its denial in taking responsibility for the injuries it caused. The financial compensation they receive will aid their recovery and future needs. This jury verdict symbolizes hope and a call to action for corporations and individuals to prioritize safety, responsibility, and empathy in all their endeavors.”
