How To Improve Safety In The Home With Voice Activated Products For Seniors

By Erica Holms


It is a big deal for seniors to live at home by themselves. If your loved one is living at home alone, you most likely worry about their safety. A way you can remedy this problem is by using the many voice activated products available these days. They help keep seniors safe because all they have to do is speak for something to work. You no longer have to worry about your loved one falling and not being able to get to the phone. Along with keeping them safe, they also can make the life easier for the care giver.

A number of senior products are designed to improve communication. A phone that responds to the voice is convenient for people who have arthritis and find it difficult to push the number buttons on a traditional telephone. Frequently called numbers are programmed into the phone and when a command is given, the phone automatically dials the desired number. Consumers will also find answering machines that work the same way. The machine will play, store and delete messages with a simple verbal command. Some of these machines will even give the time of day when prompted.

People living alone can benefit from a variety of senior electronics. Alarm clocks can be tricky to set and operate because the controls are so tiny. Purchasing a model that responds to the voice eliminates that problem. The user does not even have to touch the clock to make it work. The unit will respond to any voice and there will be no question that the time is right. The alarm is set exactly the same way. Just tell the clock what to do and it will take care of the rest. There will no longer be a worry about missing appointments or medication.

Senior talking products provide many benefits to the people who use them. Seniors fear losing their freedom but with voice activated devices, they can stop worrying about living alone. If someone falls down and cannot get back up, they can direct the phone to call for help no matter where they are in the room. Most of these devices are simple to use and anyone can quickly learn how they work. The senior does not have to automatically seek out an assisted living situation and everyone will feel more secure knowing that help is just a call away if anything bad ever happens.

There are so many senior aids and products available. Today's technology does allow you to keep your loved one safe and allows the senior in your life to keep their freedom as well.
