Smart Home Technology For Elderly Care | Products and Usage
Tell me you don’t know someone who’s getting up there in age and could use some extra help around the home. I doubt you can, and I think most of us do. My belief is that home automation and smart home products can be a big benefit for your parents, your family, your friends, and anyone who’s needing extra help. Today, I’m going to give you a #smart #home design for the #elderly.
For any of the products I featured here, head to (affiliate): (Amazon). That’s my list of specially curated products for this video.
Otherwise, if you need help with a specific situation, then you can go ahead and request through our comments section or our Patreon site:
AirDroid and AirMirror both work with remote control. You’ll need to root your Android device (for control), but you can view both the camera on the device and you can also view the screen and control the screen.

Love the Stevie Y pic!
I live in the Santa Cruz Mtns. Redwood forest, and my 81 yr old Mum lives five minutes away from my husband and I. We’ve just moved back into our house, which we’ve rebuilt after it burned in the 2020 lightening storm that was generated by wild fires. My Mum is also rebuilding their house, which also burned down. They never lived there, as they had moved into our town to be closer to us and to pay off their mortgage and get into a less costly home. They bought it and completely remodeled the whole home, three bathrooms, kitchen, flooring and all. It wasn’t a smart home in any way and it had some quirky design flaws, and two stories, which was difficult for my very ailing Dad. Then they moved all of their worldly possessions, photos, artwork and jewelry, out of storage containers and into the new home. Then, before they had time to unpack or make arrangements to move into it, it was burnt down. Cinders. But they decided to rebuild the home, unsure if they’d live in or sell it. Sadly, shortly after the rebuild got under way, my father passed away from an undetected cancer all through his body. He passed on March 19. So Mum is heartbroken and putting all her energy into rebuilding the home. She had made it a single story so it’s something she can easily manage as she ages if she decides to live there. She loves her independence and drives her mini or Dad’s Tacoma, up and down the windy mountain roads through all weather. I want to be able to keep an eye on her, with her acknowledgement of course, that triggers an alert to my phone if there is any fast or erratic movement or some kind of commotion inside the home. I’d also like to find a comfortable piece of jewelry that looks good too (she’s vain, as am I); something that alerts my phone if she has a dangerous pulse or heart rate, or if she falls, which has happened enough times for me to want to monitor it, as I will often be able to get to her quickly or can call someone who can. We live in a neighborly community where everyone is willing to look out for each other. But the problem is this: we have sooooo many unforeseen power outages in the winter (and a fair share in the summertime too), that we need back up power generators or batteries. As we are on a long wait list for batteries but eventually will both have the Tesla ones soon (ETA: March maybe, we’re not sure so this winter is a huge concern!) But looking to the future, what are my best possible and easy products to choose from?
This is an old vid now but it’d be great if it could be refreshed with current tech. How many people worry and need to have better remote but unobtrusive monitoring…. Please help
