Happy Spring!  Today is the first day of spring and flowers are starting to pop out of the ground. Flowers...did someone day 'Flowers?' Are you aware that the 69th RI Home Show will have over 10,000 sq. feet of flowers!! They are b ringing together designers from all over New England and nationally accredited judges, Dream, Discover, Design! will be their largest and most creative Flower Show EVER.

Learn What Makes a Home Age-Friendly & "HomeFit"
Visit the Home Show's AARP Age-Friendly Home to learn smart solutions for making your home right for you. From simple modifications to large design projects, they will share solutions aimed at serving you for a lifetime.

Learn about a Rhode Island Livable Home Modification Grant, which offers qualifying (homeowners and renters) up to $5,000 for home modifications benefiting people with disabilities or are aging into disability. This grant program, aims to make homes safer and easier for caregivers and people with disabilities.

We will be exhibiting in the same booth, #909 as in previous years and will show many new accessibility offerings.  Also stop by and check out Cardi's NIROPEDIC NEW Hi-Low Vertical Lift Adjustable Bed and some of the safety equipment that can be added to keep one even safer.

3 Most Common Health and Safety Concerns 
 Alleviated with Smart Speakers
Smart speakers are helping elders and their families address, 
and even alleviate their shared concerns.

Fall Prevention...
How does having a Smarter Home help avoid falls?
According to the  National Council on Aging Falls Prevention Facts , one in four Americans aged 65+ falls each year. Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall; every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall.

Some key ways to prevent falls are increasing physical mobility, improving home and environmental safety with home modifications including smart home technology, and reducing medication impact on falls.

Why we do what we do...
 
This is an shining example of what we look for in our technicians.  Clint's demeanor, professionalism, manners and positive attitude came through during this visit and this customer made a point of letting us know.  

"I want to let you know that Clint was on time, answered ALL of our questions and concerns.  He told us about the Center and we are interested in coming but would like to make sure that Clint can possibly be there when we visit and I'd also like for him to do our  installation."
