5 Low-Tech Products to Help You Age Well in Your House

Posted on 07/29/24 by Marc Saltzman

Thanks to new technology, older adults can stay independent in their own homes with cherished possessions, established routines and the help of innovative products that make living easier.

Some solutions don’t require Wi-Fi connectivity, while others leverage smart technology to be compatible with other devices. Either way, these tools enable family caregivers who don’t live in the home to be an integral part of the day-to-day activities of an aging adult.

Here are five types of products that offer safety, convenience and comfort for loved ones and peace of mind for those who look out for them.

1. Home alone? Fall detectors alert others

Fear of falling and other injuries is a concern for anyone whose balance and gait aren’t what they used to be. Wearable medical devices such as alert buttons, fall detectors and smart watches can notify a live operator, 911 or a list of family numbers within minutes.

While the latest models of several smart watch brands — including Apple Watch, Garmin Forerunner, Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy — have become adept at fall detection, their drawback is limited battery life. The watches must be taken off every day or day and a half to be charged, and that’s time when a fall can’t be spotted.

Alarm buttons work best in the pendant option

When choosing an alarm button with no fall detection — that a person must press to summon help — wristbands have one big drawback. They may be less noticeable, but if a stroke occurs, they may be unusable.

That’s what happened to my father, who had a stroke paralyzing his right side. He wore his button on his left wrist, like a watch, but could not press it with his left hand.

Lifeline HomeSafe Medical Alert System is a waterproof pendant that connects you to a trained care specialist at any time via an in-home speakerphone-like communicator. A more expensive mobile version uses cellular connectivity and works outside the home. From $29.95 a month plus $99.95 setup fee; discount for yearly plan. 

ADT On-The-Go Medical Alert System provides immediate two-way communication with care specialists. Its waterproof wristbands and pendants and wall-mounted buttons have a range of up to 600 feet from the base and operate without a landline. From $39.99 a month; discount for yearly plan.

Alarm.com Wellness system is a collection of in-home and wearable devices that can detect falls, determine where someone is in the house or whether someone has left and send alerts to caregivers. A mobile personal emergency response pendant is $150 plus $39 monthly. The app-only Alarm.com is $5 to $10 a month.

2. Dispensers track proper time to take medications

These convenient organizers dispense the right amount of medicine and audibly or visually alert a person at the prescribed time.

Nearly half of all adults 65 and older take five or more prescriptions a day, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So managing doses and keeping track of medications is more important than ever.

Bloom Flower Automatic Pill Dispenser is a lockable pill organizer and dispenser with sound and light alerts. It can stock 28 days of pills for those who take medicines once a day but allows doses up to six times daily with refills every four days. The device is battery operated. $63.99.
