SimplyHome’s Goal: Expand In-Home Services to Thousands of Aging and Disabled Recipients
New technologies are changing the way health services are delivered, allowing recipients to remain in their homes to receive care and to avoid costly hospital stays. SimplyHome of Asheville, N.C., is meeting this need with a portfolio of innovative home care solutions for independent living – specifically tailored to serve aging and disabled populations nationwide.
The solution was developed together with Aeris (www.aeris.com) and includes the use of CloudGate.
By communicating with multiple sensors to observe activities of daily living, the SimplyHome systems proactively alert caregivers and loved ones to changes in behavioral patterns. Text, email or phone alerts can be generated by a single event, an intersection of multiple events or by inactivity. Components like motion sensors, door/window contacts, and bed pressure pads alert caretakers to falls, wandering, and sleep patterns. The SimplyHome systems also help the resident remain independent with environmental controls that operate beds, lights, TVs, doors, and more via tablet or voice-activation.
State and federal healthcare agencies encourage in-home care programs as a vital way to deliver efficiencies. With Medicaid under increased pressure to find more cost-effective solutions without compromising care, SimplyHome’s services provide an important solution.
