Technology Can Make Staying at Home Possible: An Interview

Sharing this season with loved ones is a blessing we hope that all of you are getting to enjoy this year.   Helping people stay at home and stay with family is the core of what we strive to do, when we provide technology and home modifications.  We believe that if you can make activities of everyday living easier and safer, people will have the time and energy to accomplish great things, whether that is writing a book or being able to spend time happily with family.

We are grateful to one of our clients who has so eloquently shared how technology has made it possible for him to have more time with his family than he was afraid he might have had otherwise.  He has used technology ranging from our lift systems to commercially available computer programs to live his life well.

We strongly encourage anyone who is afraid that this might be their last season with their loved ones before aging or a disability forces them to change where they live to take hope.  It is our goal and mission, year round, to use technology to help people stay as safe and independent as possible.  More than anything else, we want people to think about what they’re going to do with their friends and family instead of how they’re going to get in and out of bed, or to the bathroom.  Getting older or a disability can turn what were once simple tasks into impossible obstacles that get between someone and what is truly important in their life.  Our technology and a few simple changes can often turn these insurmountable obstacles back into manageable hurdles.

If you or a loved one feels that they are going to be unable to stay safe or independent, we strongly encourage you to look into what technology or home modifications are available.  It will not solve every problem, but you won't know if it will help you unless you investigate your options.  We’re always happy to answer questions and provide solutions.

So please share the news, and share the video.  Technology exists that can keep people where they belong for the holidays: At home with family, friends, and other loved ones.
