How Digital Solutions Can Help Your Loved One Live at Home Independently Instead of a Care Home
Keeping our loved ones safe and healthy as they age becomes one of our primary responsibilities. Traditionally, care facilities have been the go-to choice for many families but due to advances in digital technology, there are other choices accessible to you and your love ones.
Digital solutions like those provided by Tunstall Emergency Response may provide your loved ones the freedom to live freely in the convenience of their own homes while giving you peace of mind that they have extra supports available when you can’t be there.
In this post, we’ll look at how using digital solutions may significantly help seniors live more independently and with a higher quality of life.
1. 24/7 Remote Monitoring and Assistance:
Tunstall’s digital solutions offer remote monitoring capabilities that enable caregivers to keep an eye on their loved ones from afar. Through sensors and wearable devices, vital information like heart rate, blood pressure & movement patterns can be monitored. In case of any irregularities, falls or emergencies, an alarm is triggered, and our 24//7 monitoring centre or family members are notified promptly. This proactive approach ensures quick responses, minimising the risk of accidents or health complications.
2. Personal Safety and Security:
Digital solutions provide a range of safety features for seniors living alone or when out and about walking.
Tunstall’s products include personal alarms, watches and devices with 24/7 emergency response buttons, allowing your loved ones to call for help instantly when they need to.
A quick push of a button can link them to our care team in the event of a fall or other emergencies and our team will evaluate the situation and take the necessary steps for help if needed. This immediate response capability provides seniors with a sense of security and enables them to live independently without the need for a live in carer.
3. Home Living Technology:
Tunstall Emergency Response provide the most up to date and modern technology to support people in the home. There is no need for our loves ones who wish to live independently not to do so if they can with the help of our Home Living Technology products. Our loved ones may be at risk for a fall, have extra needs as their hearing or sight is reduces, or maybe they are worried about strangers calling to the house.
Our products range from environmental control solutions, door and window sensors, bogus caller buttons, carbon monoxide alarms, smoke detectors, flashing beacons, personal alarms that connect to our 24/7 monitoring centre, pull cords and many more to help our love ones live independently.
4. Social Connection and Engagement
Isolation and loneliness are common issues faced by seniors, especially when living alone. Digital solutions can bridge this gap by promoting social connection and engagement. Tunstall’s products include video call functionality, enabling seniors to communicate with their family members, friends, or healthcare professionals. This not only reduces feelings of loneliness but also provides an opportunity for regular check-ins, fostering emotional well-being. Digital solutions can also provide access to online communities and resources, allowing seniors to connect with like-minded individuals and engage in hobbies or interests.
5. Enhanced Independence and Freedom:
Digital solutions empower seniors to maintain their independence and autonomy, which is crucial for their overall well-being. Tasks that were formerly difficult may now be completed with ease thanks to technology. For example, smart home automation systems can be integrated, allowing seniors to control their environment, including lighting, heating, and security, with voice commands or a mobile app. This level of control promotes self-sufficiency, enabling them to live at home independently for longer.
Digital solutions provided by Tunstall Emergency Response offer a myriad of benefits that allow your loved ones to live at home independently instead of in a care home. From remote monitoring and assistance to medication management and enhanced social connection, these technological advancements provide practical solutions for the challenges seniors face. By utilising digital solutions families can ensure their loved one’s safety well-being & quality of life while enabling them to age gracefully in the familiar and comforting environment of their own homes.
