Assistive Technology Helps People Age in Place

Great strides have been made in developing new technology to help people with disabilities remain as independent as possible. Advancements, in particular, have been made surrounding the aging population. Due to the high cost of moving to assisted living facilities and the desire of older adults to age in their homes, assistive technology has become a booming business. Assistive technology is designed to help people safely age in place.

Devices as simple as a pill organizer or a cane are considered assistive technology, said Leah Kemple, care manager for Senior Services North Fulton. We dont want people to think that technology means complicated. All of the devices on display are designed to make life easier, Kemple continued.

Some of the technology featured will include medication management systems, emergency alert devices, mobility aides, adaptive eating utensils, low vision and hearing aids and safety monitors. We wanted to gather the technology for people to experience hands-on and provide the resources on where they can find it, Kemple said. In some cases, there are funding sources available to help cover the costs.

Everyone is welcome to explore the hands-on display to see how assistive technology may help you or a loved one live more independently.
