Foothill Ranch-based Cox Communications and senior living experts showcased new smart home technology that provides older adults with ability to age in place safely and independently in their homes.
According to AARP, nearly 90 percent of adults ages 65 and older prefer aging in their current homes rather than moving to an assisted living facility. “Smart home technology can help families avoid the wrenching decision and the expense of moving an aging parent to an assisted living facility,” said Ryland Madison, director of product marking for Cox Communications. “A connected home ensures seniors can continue their daily routine while maintaining, and even enhancing, their quality of life in their own home.”
Some of the products and services demonstrated at the smart home expo include:
- Virtual Reality
- Telemedicine Sessions
- Double Robotics Telepresence Robot
- “The Future of Caregiving”
- Smart Window/Door Sensor
