Every day, innovations are helping our life, making it a little easier for older Americans, whether video chatting with family or check their heart rate with a smartwatch. The number of Americans over the age of sixty-five is growing rapidly. So, the count may reach nearly a quarter of the population in the next forty years. The nation must proactively develop strategies, and recommendations to enable older adults to live independent, healthy, and safe lives as long as possible. Introduction
Aging in place means a person making a conscious decision to live in a habitation of their choice with the comforts that are important to them. These may include adding additional services to simplify their living conditions and sustain their quality of life. With the rise of smart home, aging in place is convenient with bringing together “smart” technologies to extend the possibilities for independent living as people grow older. In the US, 4 in 10 adults who own a Voice Assistant (VA) have multiple smart devices, and 36 million people use VA at least once a month. The smart home today has been broadly marketed as a next-level experience for homeowners, hospitality professionals, and even property managers. Hogar Controls, being the emerging smart home automation company, also focusing on individuals who have real health challenges, either themselves or as caregivers and family members to build a smart home for seniors. So, how Hogar can help with mobility, care, help us, and help others in the process? What is Aging in Place Movement?
The advent of a smart home system that can connect and control multiple smart devices and help them work together has made aging in place much more viable. With HC Pro and HC Mini, it’s now possible to have connected devices that will work smoothly anywhere in your home. You can connect smart sensors – smoke sensors, motion sensors, flood and temperature sensors, smart security system, etc. and monitor your family members remotely and know everything is OK. Smart Hub For Unified Control
Smart sensors are low-powered tiny devices that can be placed at an important location in your home. Working unobtrusively in the background, sensors monitor activities without the intrusiveness of a camera. It creates the most significant impact on aging in place, as every room in your house screen your behavior – and sensors can check those patterns of daily living and give notification to caregivers. Sensors also make your home respond to you – motion sensors trigger lights to turn on whenever you enter a room, so you don’t need to fumble for light switches, less risk of tripping and falling in the dark. With Hogar Motion Sensor, Door Sensor, Smoke Sensor, etc., you can shut the lights off, turn down the thermostats at a specific time, lock the front door when you leave the house. Smart Sensors That Learn Your Routine
Smart surveillance cameras provide visual and audible verification of multiple activities in the home. Hogar Cameras can capture images and audio that the caregivers can see in real-time on their smartphone. With a unified system, your caregiver can respond to a situation, can speak with the loved once through the camera’s built-in microphone. You can position wireless cameras throughout the home. Hogar Video Door Bell located at the front door can enable seniors to see and speak with visitors directly from a smartphone or tablet before letting them in. A Step Further With Surveillance Cameras
Having a responsive home is bliss, and with smart lighting keypads, you can select fixtures on and off automatically without lifting your fingers. When programmed, Hogar Smart Touch Panels can serve as a reminder, flashing the kitchen lights when you wake up at night for water, the front door light turns on when the mail has been delivered, for example. Meanwhile, smart thermostats ensure the comfort of the aging people by maintaining preferred temperature settings throughout the day – no fiddling with buttons, knobs, or dials. If your loved ones need any adjustment with the temperature, they can adjust directly from a smartphone or tablet. Responsive Smart Lights & Thermostats
Aging in place becomes truly effortless when all smart products are tied to a home control system and controlled by voice command. Lights, music, temperature, security, and more can be controlled by speaking simple phrases – making the senior’s life easy and convenient. Moreover, caregivers can access the system remotely to ensure the well-being of the house and senior. For example, if the porch light is still on after midnight, a caregiver can turn it off.
