Environmental Control as an aid to independent living. At Vitalia Health, we understand that using a combination of conventional and alternative medical practices and by utilizing the benefits of technology, we can greatly enhance our lives at any age, from young to old. We continually search, educate and recommend ways in which technology can support people with their health and well-being throughout the whole of our lifespan. We have found in SRS Technology's Environmental Control systems, a great opportunity for elderly or disabled people to maintain and enhance their independence. In the 55+ and disabled person demographic there are clear trends, We are living longer and demand to remain independent for longer We don't want to rely on others for our basic life functions, we want to do the most basic things for ourselves Many older people have assets or money, but are losing bodily function and being forced into full-time care such as nursing homes where these assets are rapidly consumed Middle-age children have more money that they have ever had, but don't want to see their elderly parents go into nursing homes, preferring to support them to stay in their own homes or finding sheltered accommodation for them. "Environmental Control" technology in simple terms enables someone to control their complete home environment from a small control panel. Anything that relies on power or can be powered can be put back into the control of the user. Everything from doors, lights, the TV, phone, windows, heating and the emergency alarm systems. Almost complete independence can be regained. Environmental control technology has been around for many years for use in commercial applications, for example manufacturing or for office buildings to control functions such as heating, ventilation, lighting and security. With this now packaged and available for the home, it is especially applicable for those who are elderly or those who are disabled. Many middle-aged children are buying systems for their parents, saving the whole family from the trauma of entering full time nursing and extending the independence of the disabled or elderly person.
