What is Aging In Place?
Aging in Place is all about using resources (technology, equipment, caregivers, and knowledge) to stay at home as long as (safely) possible. There are many ways families are utilizing technology to assist loved ones at home. Let’s examine a few here…
Today boomers and seniors are finding ways to stay in their homes longer and longer. Technology is a huge driver of this trend, but safety is still the rule of thumb. The Senior List has showcased both cell phones and improvements in medical alert systems as examples of technology that assists seniors (and their kids). We’ll continue to showcase other items, and ask you to participate in the conversation as well. Some other items that are helping seniors “age in place” are; home modifications, sophisticated home monitoring systems, telehealth, senior focused transportation services, home care, and home health care (just to name a few).
