It is a great concept.
A new smart home for those with disabilities opened in Long Island and has become a “game change” for the daily lives of its inhabitants.
“If it weren’t for this house, I wouldn’t be as independent as I now,” the post 33-year-old Aj Duran told the post, who recently moved to Shirley’s property at Suffolk County.
The four bedroom property, operated by the free operated local organization, has been defeated with high -tech equipment and voice -controlled services to use as much as possible to require home assistance to treat minuscula tasks.
Its sink, refrigerator, stove tops, ovens and blinds are all controlled by Bluetooth and can be turned on and off for residents from different communities across it.
The oven door opens sideways than from top to bottom, enabling wheelchair users to cook on it, while the sink and upper stove are vertically adjusted to the simply touch of a button.
“People who can probably benefit more from modern technology often have fewer access to it,” said Free Robert Budd’s CEO for thousands launched to make the home of the Open April electronically.
He added that houses like this, especially in Long Island, are scarce and far away – and that the success of the facility is moving free to open more. Home updates were funded through Medicaid, and its sink, stove, blinds and oven were the most valuable features in several thousand combined dollars.
Other features, such as connecting Amazon Alexa equipment, individual climate controls for each room, and also intelligent equipment, were relatively cost effective, Budd added.
“This house was our commitment to make sure these people could have greater autonomy … That kind of independence leads to greater emotional well -being, and greater emotional well -being leads to greater general health.”
Duran, who has cerebral and relic paralysis in a mobility wheelchair, is using as much easy -to -use equipment to use the new kitchen of her home.
“Open so many doors and things to me that I couldn’t do before. Now I could get into the kitchen, I can make a sandwich myself,” Duran said.
Using an Alexa device to learn the recipes at a kitchen work station, Duran is now revealing for the first time that she has a culinary passion. She is cooking a storm with dinners like pasta and meat sauce, turkey on a smart plane and Tacos nights for her roommates.
“I’m living my independence and I don’t need to ask people to make me a meal,” she said.
“This new home and everything in it is really the best thing he has ever done for people like me.”
Alyssa Slade, who is moving on Wednesday, is looking forward to the slight aspect of the multimedia home access, which has Amazon Alexa equipment in each room.
“Everything here is so beautiful,” the 32-year-old said with autism as she touched her new residence on Monday. “I love music. I love music videos and I like television shows … that’s the most exciting part for me.”
Homeland supervisor Deborah Brock said innovative equipment is already changing the behavior of the two residents Slade and another will join in the coming weeks.
“Really really exciting, especially for aj … She comes and goes when she wants, eats when she wants, and has access to everything for her,” Brock said.
“It is by encouraging these people to do more on topics than depends on others for help. Definitely is definitely a switch, obviously a game change.”
