Connected Home:
Their Independence.
Your Peace of Mind.
If you have an elderly parent or loved one who lives alone, you may wonder day-to-day whether they are OK.
Connected Home is a way to answer that question—without impinging on your loved one’s privacy or dignity. Connected Home is a sophisticated product that gives you a view into your loved one’s activities without using intrusive cameras or microphones. Instead, discreet sensors will let you know whether your loved one got out of bed at their normal hour, is eating on a regular schedule, and is moving about as usual. In fact, Connected Home will learn what is normal for your loved one and alert you if changes occur, which can signal that something is amiss.
Their Safety Network
Support your loved one living their life, on their terms, but with an added layer of protection.
Connected Home uses a network of home sensors to track their daily health and detect routine activities as they go about their day.
Similar to a motion sensor, these sensors do not record voices or movement; they simply detect activity, such as when an appliance is in use or when a door to the outside has been left open. They are discreet and do not make any sound, but they are always working to provide a vital, 24/7 connection with your loved one.
The Many Benefits of Connected Home
Peace of Mind
With Connected Home, you can rest easy knowing that your loved one is safe and secure at home. The system provides real-time alerts if anything out of the ordinary occurs, such as prolonged inactivity or unexpected nighttime rousing. This allows caregivers to respond quickly and prevent potential emergencies.
Enhanced Independence
Many seniors who live alone want to remain on their own as long as possible. Their children may worry and want to relocate their parent or introduce caretakers. Connected Home allows seniors to remain independent but gives their family a window into their well-being.
Improved Communication
With Connected Home, you will have insight on routine activities because the app will tell you what you need to know. You’ll have more time for meaningful conversations, so you will both feel more connected—all while ensuring that your loved one’s basic needs are being met.
Cost-effective
Traditional caregiving services can be expensive and may not fit every budget. Connected Home offers an affordable and scalable solution that can be customized to meet the unique needs of each family. This allows caregivers to provide high-quality care without breaking the bank.
