Keep Mom, Dad And The Grands Home Safe
(BPT) - Technological advancements are
helping aging adults stay safe, comfortable
and connected as they age in place. And,
families can feel more confident about mom,
dad and the grands living independently,
especially around the holidays.
“The year 2020 brings new innovative
technologies to enable us to address the unique
challenges we face as we age,” says Lisa
Cini, president/CEO, Mosaic Design Studio
and BestLivingTech.com. “Even the simplest
tasks, like going to the bathroom, turning on
the faucet, or cleaning up afterward can be
difficult or dangerous for aging adults, but by
integrating the latest gadgets into our home
designs, seniors can remain safe, connected
and independent.”
Lisa’s 2020 tech trends include:
* Google Home or Amazon’s Alexa can be
used for a multitude of activities like listening
to music and audio books, appointment
and medication reminders, and hearing the
weather. These gadgets can even make calls
and respond to a simple “OK Google” or
“Hey Alexa,” which can be useful after a slip
or a fall (if within hearing range).
* A bidet eliminates the need for assistance
in the bathroom by allowing users to clean
up after themselves, providing independence
and removing the embarrassment of asking
for help.
* Hestan Cue Chef’s Pot measures the
surface temperature of the pan via Bluetooth
and is great for braising, poaching and
perfecting dishes.
* Roomba the robot can vacuum multiple
rooms daily and is compatible with Amazon’s
Alexa and Google Home. It travels back to
its charging dock and can be customized to
clean when you want it to.
* Moley Robotic Kitchen is a fully automated
kitchen that acts as a MasterChef to cook
thousands of meals. This smart robot takes
away the hassle of cooking and cleaning
and does everything at the touch of a button.
* Nest Smart Thermostat makes homes
energy efficient, with a display that can be
read from across the room or remotely by
cell phone and works with Amazon’s Alexa
for voice control.
* Loop keeps you connected to friends
and family through a loop of photos, video
and video chat.
* The Human Charger light therapy device
enhances energy levels and helps you get
restful, sustained sleep.
* The Dementia Day Cycle Clock displays
the day of the week and morning, afternoon,
evening or night, to help you distinguish
between days of the week and cycles of
the day.
* Med-Q Automatic Pill Dispenser will
flash the corresponding day slot with a bright
red light and blast an alarm that increases
in volume until you take your pills at the
scheduled time.
* A One Button Dementia Radio allows
you to turn the radio on and off without
confusing buttons and dials.
* The Wander Alarm Security Alert chimes
or vibrates to let you know that the door or
window has been opened.
* iGuardStove and FireAvert prevent burnt
pans or fires by automatically shutting off
power to the stove when the smoke alarm
goes off.
* Joy for All Companion Pets provides
joy without the headache as it responds to
hugging, petting and motion like any typical
cat or dog, mimicking the movement and
purring sound of a cat to bring comfort and
companionship. No need to clean the kitty
litter or walk the dog in the snow with this
companion pet.
BestLivingTech.com offers many of the
available products above to help seniors
embrace aging and independent living. As
a boomer living designer, Lisa searches the
world for the best technology to help people
age in place and brings them all together
in one online store - think Sharper Image

By keeping the home retrofitted with the
latest technology, we can help our parents
and grandparents stay safe and comfortable
at home and eliminate some of the worry
when we’re not around.
