  2. As we get older, completing daily tasks can be more difficult than before, owing to weaker bones or bad backs that are unavoidable when we age. Moreover, older people are more at risk of falls. Fortunately, the new age of technology offers plenty of solutions to make daily life easier and safer, such as personal safety alarms for the elderly, a form of assistive technology. Below are more types of assistive technology that you can add to your home or the homes of your older loved ones living independently.

  3. Personal Alarm Systems for Seniors Personal alarms are by far one of the most helpful assistive technologies for seniors to keep them safe. It also gives them the ability to live independently with loved ones, confident that their elders will always have the assistance they need in case of emergencies—for instance, Tunstall’s Emergency & Personal Alarms for Seniors. With just a press of a button, medical alarms for the elderly can connect the wearer straight to the 24/7 Customer Care Centres to assess the situation and bring immediate medical help when needed. Home Security Today, many devices dominate the market to make a safer home. These devices can be utilized to make the home of your elders safer, especially when they are living independently. Some examples include smart doorbells and locks, which allow them to see who is visiting and check what’s outside if they notice any suspicious activity. Smart smoke and fire alarms are also new and improved devices that may alert not only the residents but also their relatives through the internet and connected smart home applications in their mobile phones.

  4. Accessible Mobile Phones Independence is important for older people; however, living alone can also make them prone to loneliness. To reduce any feelings of isolation, there are accessible smartphones that make it easy for them to connect with their loved ones and catch up. These are devices that are not overly complicated, easy to learn, and easy to use. GPS Trackers While personal safety alarms for the elderly may also have GPS trackers included in their features, the latter is a more low-cost solution. It’s especially useful for people who are prone to wandering due to dementia. This device may take the form of a fob or wristband, like a personal alarm. However, while GPS trackers are less expensive, personal alarms are generally more recommended since they have more helpful features.
