How Smart Home Security Helps Aging Loved Ones
Support Aging-in-Place Lifestyles With Technology
Seniors live with more risks overshadowing their daily activities. That’s why many seniors or their caretakers choose communities where the elderly can receive constant supervision. However, according to an Alarm.com study, 87% of seniors want to stay in their homes as they age, but they share fears about mobility, feeding themselves and staying safe.
This more recent lifestyle choice is commonly called “living in place.” Instead of heading off to a nursing home or elderly community, living in place gives older people the opportunity to spend their advanced years where they feel most comfortable –
at home. Find out how that’s possible with some integrated smart home security technologies that we install and customize right here in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
