For our third Aging in Place Webinar Session titled Can Your Forever Home Be Both Gorgeous & Automated? we were joined by Catharine Eckersley (Valley to Peak ...OT Consulting), Vanessa Matthews (101 Mobility) and Mike Drummer (Digital Lifestyles). During this webinar, we covered a topic that has a lot of concern surrounding it; namely, can my forever or lifetime home be both gorgeous and automated, yet still be fully accessible without feeling institutional or medicinal in any way? Our expert panelists shared a wealth of knowledge and presented actual case studies to help dispel the concerns that many of you may have. If the thought of learning to use new technology in your home worries you or your loved ones, you find the array of products on websites to be overwhelming, or you’d like to know more about the benefits that occupational therapy can bring to someone considering aging in place, then this video is for you! Enjoy this video, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you have ANY questions!
