Summary

All Home Care Matters is honored to welcome Janice Shokrian the Founder & CEO of Tausi brands.

The idea for Tausi came to founder Janice Shokrian in 2018, when visiting her father in a nursing home. Sleeping upright in his chair was incredibly uncomfortable, and causing him a lot of neck pain. She wanted to help him be more comfortable, and provide support for his head and neck. Pillows and props kept slipping, and would not stay in position, and ultimately did not offer enough support. She knew there had to be a better way.

Over the next few weeks she searched to find an existing solution but came up empty-handed. She realized there was a huge need for a better way to support the head and neck while sleeping upright in a chair. So she took matters into her own hands, and with limited sewing skills, rolled up her sleeves to tackle the challenge head-on. She collaborated with her father in the initial development stages, and Tausi was born.
