4. Welcome technology into your life
If you want to make your home safer as you age, you need to know that technology can really help you and make your life easier. For instance, telehealth technology can enhance people’s quality of life in terms of their health.
Other things that can also improve the life of any senior are lighting sensors, medicine reminders, wearable gadgets like pedometers to make sure a person is moving sufficiently, and please don’t forget about social media, which can help elders stay connected to the outside world.
Stoves can have automatic shutoffs, the flooring can have sensors installed to detect falls, and voice commands may be used to call a neighbor or the police for assistance. Online shopping can be automated, and by doing this, you will get groceries whenever you need them.
So, letting technology enter your life can have many perks you should not ignore.
