HOME AUTOMATION CAN BE FUN
FOR US ALL, BUT IT IS GREAT FOR
THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED
 Home automation could save the average person a lot of time, but it also
has an efficient and extremely needed purpose regarding people with
disabilities as well as older adults who would prefer to live in their home
instead of ending up in a nursing home.
 There are health systems embedded in things like appliances and
furniture that will collect data, which can then be obtained, analyzed, and
used by medical professionals (and even family in some cases) to ascertain
the health of the elderly/disabled person.
 As the industry expands and prices consequently go down, home
automation is being installed in more homes of elderly/disabled people,
which allows them to stay out of assisted living facilities and nursing
homes. The process of moving out of one’s home and into a long-term
care facility can create a lot of anxiety. The home automation systems let
the elderly and disabled remain in their homes secure in the knowledge
that—should something go wrong—help is just a moment or two away.
