Virtual Assistants Support Independent Living

When parents slip into the world of dementia, family members as well as the parent become frustrated that they can no longer remember the simple routines that they have been doing for many years. The parents want to still be independent. The introduction of Alexa, Google Assistant or the Apple Home device can become a new friend of theirs.

All you have to is to program certain reminders on one of these devices which can sit in a room where they spend the majority of their time. For example, the day of the week, time to take a shower, play their favorite song, or time to have lunch.

Without knowing it, your parent will feel independent.
