Smart Home Technology: Allowing Seniors to Age in Place

Connected smart homes are here and are not just for the younger consumer. A connected home can be the difference between seniors having to move to some type of assisted living facility or being able to remain in the comforts of their own home.

Youthful Aging has multiple devices clients can select from. Many devices can in fact reduce the need for and the amount of caregiver support.

Connecting numerous technology devices throughout the home is also becoming a more prevalent adaptation for the elderly aging in place. Home modifications and assistive technology allow seniors to continue to perform everyday tasks easier and more independently.

More recently, University at Buffalo researchers have studied the cost effectiveness, usage and impact of smart home technologies with the elderly population. Researchers found that 80 per cent of the smart home technology users remained living in their homes at the end of the two-year study period versus 66 per cent of the control group.
