Aging In Place
If you have a friend or loved one who lives in a senior living center you probably know the horror stories; ultra-high cost, inadequate staffing, lack of care, physical and mental abuse. It's no wonder that many people are choosing to stay in their homes in their senior years. According to the AARP, nearly 90 percent of adults over 65 want to remain in their current homes as they grow older.
There are many technological advances that support this choice; smart phone and computer cameras that measure heart rate and respiration; automated sliding doors that make the outdoors wheelchair accessible; automated medication reminders; voice activated control of motorized shades, lights, and TVs, and more. Food delivery services have proliferated over the last few years, making meals conveniently available without the presence of a caregiver.
Most of these benefits rely on high-speed Internet connections and good WiFi coverage. Plan accordingly.
