Assisted living and home care have evolved significantly with the advancement of technology. Smart homes not only bring convenience and efficiency, but also offer innovative solutions that improve the quality of life for those who need assistance at home. Let’s explore how smart solutions can provide effective in-home assistance and improve assisted living:
Remote monitoring and continuous communication
Remote monitoring technologies allow caregivers and family members to stay connected to people in need of assistance, no matter the distance.
Smart monitoring devices, such as security cameras with surveillance features and motion sensors, allow caregivers to check on the safety and well-being of individuals in real time and even receive alerts on their devices instantly of everything that is happening.
Voice assistants to make everyday life easier
Smart voice assistants in the home can be a valuable tool for people with reduced mobility or cognitive impairments.
These devices can control other devices in the home, activate preset scenes, set reminders to take medication, make calls and send messages with voice commands, facilitating independence and the management of daily tasks.
Home automation for more security
Home automation contributes to greater security and comfort for those receiving assistance at home.
Smart locks allow remote access for caregivers or family members, while alarm systems and security sensors can detect unusual activity, water leaks or smoke. The integration of these systems with automatic and instant notifications to chosen individuals ensures a rapid response in case of emergency.
Intelligent lighting to prevent falls
Falls are one of the biggest common concerns for the elderly and those with limited mobility.
Intelligent lighting systems, which are activated when motion is detected, ensure that key areas of the home are always illuminated when needed and at the desired times.
This helps prevent accidents and provides greater safety at night or in low light conditions.Intelligent lighting to prevent falls
Access and mobility facilities
Smart solutions can also improve accessibility in the home by facilitating safer and more autonomous living for people with disabilities.
Automatic doors, lighting controls and motorised curtains, blinds or shades can be easily operated by voice commands, automations or mobile devices, making mobility easier for those with physical challenges.
Reminders and daily tasks
Smart reminders can be scheduled for important tasks, such as medical appointments, rehabilitation, or daily activities.
These reminders can be sent via voice devices or mobile apps via reminders or alerts helping to keep an organised routine, significantly reducing the risk of forgetfulness and ensuring better management of time and daily responsibilities.
Smart solutions for assisted living are revolutionising the way we provide and receive care in the home. At Kimbo Smart, we focus on developing innovations that make assisted living safer and more comfortable, dramatically raising quality of life and offering more effective and personalised care.
