The service provides seniors with some of the essential support of a LTC facility in their own home. The Long-term Care at Home program equips seniors’ homes with technology for virtual care and monitoring, customized to an individual’s needs and monitored by a care team who checks in if an alert is received. It also includes respite care to alleviate family caregiver burnout. Similar to LTC residence monitoring, the programs’ technology will monitor seniors in their homes for fall detection, activity levels, medication adherence, wandering and vitals. Devices used to equip a senior’s home include a tablet, a wearable pendant or wall mounted device for fall detection, two-way emergency calls and sensors.
