Since the Pandemic, there is an increasing number of people who desire to age in place-- that is-- live in the own home as they age into their twilight years. However, most seniors' homes are not safe and functional ready for the aging senior population.

​

There are two ways to help senior citizens age in place:

1. Make functional and safety changes to their home

2. Install technology that will make the senior residents lives easier and more functional.
