My mother is eighty-two years seasoned and still quite independent, but he lives on his own, volunteers at the Borders and respectfully has supper with friends.
She has no problem driving to the grocery store, mowing his grass and keeping up with weekly tasks; Even though he is sharp, strong and healthy, I worry about her, i officially stop in and see his everyday and always text his at bedtime.
For peace of mind, I invested into an automation system for his home, however there was initially a bit of a learning curve for my mother. She set off the alarm numerous times! However, he has gotten accustomed to the operation and features of the automation system and loves it. She prefers that he no longer needs to remember to adjust the control device before leaving for the afternoon and never arrives property to an boiling or chilly house. She also appreciates that the lights automatically turn on for her, the garage door goes up and the doors unlock. I like that there are surveillance cameras keeping watch over his property. The automation system includes security and safety features such as motion-activated lights, glass breakage sensors, carbon monoxide detectors, moisture sensors and smoke detectors, then my mother gets an alert whenever anyone pulls into the driveway and he can see who it is separate from opening his door. If anyone enters separate from permission, an alarm sounds and the local authorities are dispatched! Plus, my mom has access to a panic button that right away sends help his way. The automation system was a genuinely nice decision.
