Our American culture places a high value on staying at home. Hence we all recognize the following nostalgic sayings: "Honey I'm Home", There's No Place like Home", "I'll Be Home For Christmas", and "Home Is Where The Heart Is". The trick is to do so while being safe and able to do the normal activities of life. Several new products are helping folks do just that. Medication management systems, personal emergency response systems, and video communication are especially helpful for long distance caregivers and their loved ones.

Also, an ingenious device designed by a geriatrician is now available which gives personal freedom to homebound individuals. The "Allen Pole" is a support device of strategically placed bars and hand grips which allow for alternative strategies (Pivot-Push-Pull) in transferring to and from a bed, commode or chair. This product allows someone to take charge of their life once again and not feel like a prisoner to their bedroom. Enhanced quality of life is a by-product. for further information go to www.boomercaretech.com
