Smart home technology can sound complicated and expensive, but the right device can quietly remove the small daily frustrations that make living alone harder. In this episode, host Esther Kane, a retired Occupational Therapist, Certified Aging in Place Specialist, and Dementia Care Specialist, walks through the devices she'd recommend first — voice speakers, smart plugs, motion-activated lighting, video doorbells, medication dispensers, smart thermostats, and fall-detection alerts — and explains the everyday problem each one solves. She also shares the single most important question to ask before buying anything, plus straightforward guidance on privacy, cost, and why starting with just one device works better than buying a whole system.
