How Voice Activated Products For Seniors Can Improve Safety In The Home

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.

Many of the available senior products were created to help with communication. Seniors with arthritis may find it difficult to push the numbers keys on a standard telephone. A voice activated unit does not require the user to touch it at all. After the most used numbers are programmed into the phone, a simple voice command will prompt the phone to dial the number and make the call. There is no need to worry about remembering important numbers or reading them out of a phone book. A similar mechanism is used by specially designed answering machines. The user can tell the machine to store, delete or play messages on command. Most of these machines are also able to give the time when asked.

There are alarm clocks that work as voice activated products as well. It works just as well and the same as a regular alarm clock expect all the programming is done by talking to it. You do not have to fumble with tiny buttons to set the time you need because all you do is tell the clock what time you need the alarm set and it automatically sets it. Having products such as these readily at hand make it possible for seniors to live alone. Family members will not worry as much because they know they can use these products even in the event of a fall.

It is a big deal for seniors to be able to keep the freedom in their lives. Without voice activated products, this would not be possible because family members would not know whether they would be safe or not. Most seniors will love the great features that are so simple to use, that the senior in your life will not mind learning how to use them correctly.

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.
