I am looking forward to giving a keynote presentation at the Atlantic Seniors Housing Alliance conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia next week. My topic is “Technology for Aging in Place”. Yes, I will speak to low tech solutions like Home Modifications and Assistive Technology as well as high tech solutions like PERS, telehealth, environmental controls and the dynamic and comprehensive management system.
I am also excited to attend the whole conference and learn more about the canadian apporach. We know Canadian health care is different. We know their approach to social programming is different, yet in so many ways we think of our countries as similar. I expect to come home with some new ideas – for Aging in Place – as well as this blog.
