Technology is affecting all areas of our lives and can benefit us in so many ways. More and more often we use technology in our homes for convenience, safety and entertainment. As individuals consider options for care and support as they age, it is important to understand how technology can play a role. Research shows that 90 percent of older adults prefer to age in place at home. Leveraging technology may help to make that reality for many people. Join this webinar to learn about ways to create a tech-enabled home that can help enhance independence and support individual’s desire to age in place.

Participants in this webinar will be able to:

• Learn the uses of modern technology;
• Recognize affordable and accessible options;
• Understand the convenience of tech-enabled homes; and
• Realize the independence enhancement from technology.
