Customised Security Solutions to Protect the Elderly

Because we love them, the safety and well-being of Mum and Dad can become an extra worry that keeps us up at night. With 34% of Australian’s 80+ years old living alone the thought of something happening is always there in the minds of loved ones. For those that live with family who can help and act as caregivers it does give some extra piece of mind.
Whether it’s your mother or father, or a dear family friend, caregiving is rewarding yet challenging work. What if you could give that special person in your life a gift that could make life easier for both of you, like professionally monitored smart (and easy to use) home security?
