Independence, connection and security
Feeling independent, connected and secure is essential, even for individuals who require supported living. This includes young people and adults with various disabilities who are living in care homes, as well as the elderly individuals transitioning to nursing homes.
Creating a home environment tailored to the individual’s needs
Today, there are many alternatives for the elderly and those with special needs. These facilities must cater to the well-being of residents, while also considering the needs of relatives and caregivers. Modern technology plays an increasingly important role in enhancing individual care and making these facilities more appealing and competitive.
Better care for an aging population
Society faces new challenges as an aging population creates a demand for individually tailored assisted living. Meanwhile, the number of people diagnosed with cognitive disorders is on the rise. To manage care costs effectively, both private and public healthcare players must work together to find innovative solutions.
Enhancing well-being in care homes with the right assistive technology
For care home providers, creating safe living environments for residents and secure workplaces for staff is crucial. As the residents gain greater confidence and independence, staff are freed to focus on value-added activities and the development of the care home. Running a care home today involves numerous challenges, with the core goals of providing support, fostering equality in living conditions and enabling full participation in community life. The care home should offer quality care, and supports individual autonomy, privacy, influence and a sense of belonging, while also respecting the unique needs of residents.
