Hey everyone; aging is one of the few certainties in life.
Getting ready for the aging process is important.
Planning for retirement and getting old, might just involve the addition of senior smart home-friendly technologies to your house.
To help you with the thought process associated with planning a smart home, I have put together five short videos as follows:

In this week’s independent living video I will explain that smart homes can benefit you during the aging process.

SMART HOMES & MINOR PROBLEMS
For those living alone, fixing a problem around the house can be challenging.
Changing a light bulb or plug fuse can cause disruption to your daily life, particularly if it goes on over an extended period of time.
Identifying the problem is one hurdle but identifying who should come and fix can be confusing to some people.
SMART HOME PERSONAL ALARM SYSTEM
A Smart Home (PAS) can be used by elderly people to notify a relative of an issue that has developed in the home, which requires attention.
These PAS systems come in different form factors ranging from pendants to bracelets and can be set up to connect directly with a Smart Hub or directly over a phone line.
