4 Tech Devices Every Senior Living At Home Should Have
SHARE

While some seniors are refractory to tech, the fact remains that tech has made their lives so much easier over the last few years. And it’s evolving so fast too. Manufacturers are realising how important this demographic is, and will continue to be, as more people are reaching senior age. They are developing applications and devices that allow seniors to enjoy the internet to the fullest and navigate it easily. They are also developing devices that allow seniors to be more autonomous and safe. Here are four tech devices every senior living at home should have.

A Smart Door Ring

Smart door rings and security devices should be on the top of the list for any senior person living alone. As a matter of fact, they should be on everybody’s list.

A smart door ring will do more than just allow you to know who’s at the door. A good smart door ring will also allow you to answer the door at a distance, for instance. It will allow you to talk to the person at the door from wherever you are and give them instructions. They can also be useful if you currently get packages stolen or if it will take you a while to get to the door.

A smart door ring can also be coordinated with a smart light system. This could come in handy if you’re having hearing issues. You could set your light system to flash when someone rings allowing you to know when someone is at the door no matter where you are in the house.

When picking a smart door ring, make sure that it’s easily programmable and integrable with your phone and any other smart devices you have inside the house. Also, make sure that it has a 180 camera that will allow you to see the whole front of the house.

A GPS Tracker

Some people might think that a GPS tracker keeping tabs of everywhere they go is a bit intrusive, and it can be. But it could also be a lifesaver if you’re a senior and are slowly starting to lose your mobility and cognitive issues.

GPS trackers should never take the place of memory care, but if you are feeling confused about your whereabouts or simply want someone to be able to find you and get assistance if you get injured or lost they are an ideal solution.

You have services like Connected Care Solutions For the Elderly that will not only provide you with a GPS system but will also be there for you 24/7 if you have any issues. This will give you and the people around you great peace of mind.

A User-Friendly Phone

You cannot survive alone without a good cell phone. The issue is that many of the new phones we have today are very difficult to use, even for people who are used to them. So, if you’re struggling with new tech, you need to find a phone that is as user-friendly as possible. You have phones that are made specifically for seniors like the GrandPad which comes with large icons, an easy-to-use interface, and a dockable design, but most phones in the Galaxy collection are incredibly easy to use too. You also have simple flip phones like the Doro 7030 for people who struggle with smartphones in general.

You can install apps like Elder Launcher that will make any phone easier to use for the average senior. This app magnifies items on the homepage and makes them much easier to open. It’s totally free too.

Stove Alert

One of the biggest causes of death in seniors is fires, and most fires are caused by stoves that have been left on. Yet, so few people have security measures in place to prevent this. Get a good stove alert system that will alert you with visual and audio cues like Burner Alert. You won’t have to worry about leaving your stove open ever again.

Conclusion

If you’re a senior living at home, or you know one, you should consider investing in the above tech. They will keep you safe, make your life much more convenient, and allow you to stay connected with the people closest to you.
