Aging & Dementia
Older people strive to maintain their independence and live fulfilling life. Now, with the aid of “smart” assistive technologies, these hopes and aspirations are being attained in new and exciting ways. At the same time, caregivers who provide love and support gain peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are not only happy, but also safe and secure.
At ATECH we believe that every person, regardless of age and age-related disabilities, deserves greater opportunities to stay in their own home and live as independently as possible.
ATECH helps elderly individuals and their families define and implement solutions that balance independence and fulfillment with safety and security, offering family and friends peace of mind and support through the process.
New Possibilities for People Aging In Place, People With Dementia, And Their Caregivers
“Smart home” technologies are taking assistive technology to new levels. At the same time, these smart home technologies provide the information that caregivers and loved ones need to remotely support and provide safety and security. The exact scaffolds and supports each person needs can then be formulated, without providing too much or too little direct caregiving.
Whether one needs support for medication management, cooking safety, fall and wander prevention, or emergency and medical response support or more, ATECH develops solutions providing the right amount of assistive technology to overcoming barriers to independence, one thoughtful step at a time.
Let ATECH help you create a thoughtful assistive technology implementation plan, so that you and your loved one can continue to live life to its fullest.

Starting With a Comprehensive Assessment
An AT assessment starts with an understanding of the needs, wants and desires of an individual with physical or cognitive issues associated with aging. The smart technology solution is then created. Training during the transition to independence builds confidence, competence, and comfort. The right supports, monitoring, and alert systems offer safe, healthier independent living
