Aging in Place

You want to stay in the home you already have. That is not stubbornness. It is the life you built. Aging in Place is Home and Robot’s field guide to the robots and smart devices in that house. They help you keep choosing how you live, where you live and who helps you. The articles take up what you can buy now, falls, reminders, someone to talk to and memory that will not hold. They take up making the house safer, especially the bathroom. They take up getting around, what it costs and the aides and family who are still part of the week. They also ask who sees what when a tool watches. They ask what to do when a robot is not enough and what is coming in the next 5 years. Each article stands on its own. Start with the part of staying home that is already hard. If this is your home, these articles are for you. If you are the adult child at the same table, you are in the room.
