How ‘Smart Home’ Savvy Are You?

Share

Smart home technologies can give you peace of mind, save your precious time, and make life easier for you and your mom and/or dad (or the person you are caring for). Have you looked into how smart home solutions can help you as a caregiver? Please take this short quiz!

Read the following questions (only 5 of them!) and choose the answer that best fits.

Question: 1 of 5

1.How familiar are you with how smart home solutions can help you care for your aging parent(s)?

I already have smart home products, and I wonder how they could also help my parent(s).

I am a wee bit familiar but couldn’t have a long conversation about these features.

I am very familiar and am all onboard for smart home products being installed at mom and dad’s place.

What? I am smart but don’t know anything about smart home features.

Question: 2 of 5

2.How open would your mom and/or dad be to the installation of a smart home at their place?

I would have to do a lot of convincing because I can already hear them saying “no thanks.”

The door is firmly closed. My parents are committed to their home ‘as is’.

They would hear me out about it and would likely agree, mainly to please me.

They would welcome it with open arms.

Question: 3 of 5

3.Over the next 12 months, would you buy a smart home package for mom and/or dad?

I might buy one but I would like to learn more about how a smart home can help me or my parent(s).

Nah, I can’t see me doing that.

Probably, you’ve given me something to seriously think about.

Yea totally, I am all in.

Question: 4 of 5

4.Which smart home feature do you think is the most important for mom and/or dad?

All of the above

Convenience and comfort (smart thermostat, lights, the ability to turn appliances on/off remotely)

Personal health/wellness (such as sensors to track sleep cycles)

Remote security and safety (remote door lock , a doorbell camera, or door/window sensors)

Question: 5 of 5

5.Your mom and/or dad may have a difference of opinion (or not!). Which feature do you think they would say is most important?

All of the above

Convenience and comfort ( smart thermostat, lights, or the ability to turn appliances on/off remotely)

Personal health/wellness (such as sensors to track sleep cycles)

Remote security and safety (remote door lock, a doorbell camera, or door/window sensors)
