What is AAL?
Smart Assisted Living
When it comes to buildings for the elderly or infirm, or residents that simply need assistance in their living environment, our solutions can offer exceptional functionality for unobtrusive monitoring. By including a standard range of products in apartments, these products can then be configured to be used in very unique applications for each resident based on their requirements for assisted living.
For example, lighting can flash to indicate that there is a visitor at the door for hearing-impaired residents. Multiroom audio can deliver messages about the state of open doors or windows for visually-impaired residents. When it comes to the elderly or infirm, our products can offer unobtrusive monitoring to help identify if the routine is broken, or if the path of motion is not completed which may suggest a fall.
Carers and family members will be able to access monitoring information without removing the independence or interfering with the privacy of the resident. Likewise, should a potential concern arise, carers and family members can receive a notification on their phone that something might be amiss.
Advantages for Residents
As our life expectancies increase, a large percentage of people want to grow old in their own home and to be as self-sufficient as possible – even if some level of care becomes necessary. Home & Building Automation can help facilitate this by taking care of a range of tasks in the background while also keeping a protective eye out by monitoring for anything unusual.
Not only does this improve people’s quality of life, but it can also help to reassure family members that everything is taken care of. One of the massive advantages is that the solution can be individually adapted to suit the exact requirements of a specific person.
Advantages for Care-givers
Of course, AAL automation is great for residents however, it’s also great for those who provide care. Care workers are usually extremely busy, working long hours. By using automation technology some of the weight can be lifted off their shoulders – allowing them to focus on the more crucial areas of their jobs.
For specialist care facilities, including automation in your properties increases the comfort for both residents and careers – meaning that you’ll be one of the most sought-after establishments.
