Seniors who want to age independently in their homes can now stay connected to friends and family with the new CareLine? home safety telephone system from VTech? Communications, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of VTech Holdings Ltd.
Designed with experts in aging and technology, the affordable and easy-to-use CareLine system incorporates features to uniquely meet seniors' daily communication needs, including large displays, reminder capabilities, volume boost and a wearable pendant with one-button dialing that directly calls people that seniors communicate with most.
"America is aging, and with age comes challenges that can make it more difficult to live on your own," said Jeffrey Kaye, the Director of the Oregon Center for Aging and Technology (ORCATECH) and a professor of neurology and biomedical engineering at Oregon Health & Science University. "Seniors seeking to remain independent need help finding the right people at the right time. Making that connection easy and affordable is key. That's why we at ORCATECH provided our input to VTech in the design of its CareLine product."
