What is smart technology?

Smart technology allows you to live safely and independently at home with technology that is matched to your needs.

Regardless of your current technology knowledge or digital use, our Smart Technology Occupational Therapist (OT) will assess your needs or concerns and recommend technology that will best suit you.

This could be assistance to connect with family and friends online, devices to prompt and remind, automated or voice-activated household appliances, or technology that gives you the confidence to get out and about.

Following the delivery of your technology, our OT will visit you again to tailor it to you and ensure you are comfortable with its use.

What types of technology are available?

  • iPads or android tablets
  • Computers and mobile phones, plus apps to help with daily life
  • TV portal – talk with family and friends via your TV
  • Personal alarms and smart watches
  • Robot vacuum cleaners, lawnmowers, window cleaners
  • Smart home lighting and other smart devices
  • Smart doorbells, door locks, security cameras
  • Google home and other voice-activated devices to control your smart home
  • Emerging technologies that support social connection
  • Gaming technologies to participate in physical activity or connect with family and friends
  • Adaptive devices to support using chosen technologies (e.g. stylus, straps)
  • Monitoring systems that track and predict behaviour
  • Devices that support people with dementia, e.g. with memory prompts and safety
  • Tile trackers that help you track and find lost keys/phone/remote etc.
  • And more – the list is growing all the time

ACH Group celebrates Luisa's two decades of volunteering 🥳🎨🤩

Luisa Centofanti has just chalked up a remarkable 20 years of volunteering at Milpara Residential Aged Care Home – and she’s not done yet.

Having walked into Milpara as a volunteer for the first time on February 4, 2005, Luisa has spent countless hours supporting residents with cooking, art and gardening activities.

She said she gets out as much as she puts in and hopes she still has another five years left in her.

“The mind is still willing it is just as long as the body is able,” she laughed.

“It is the people that keeps you coming back – there is no better feeling than spending your time to make other people feel good.” 💚

ACH Group Volunteer Services Manager Charlotte Carmody said Luisa’s tenure as a volunteer was quite extraordinary.

"If you ever needed to see the power of volunteering and the impact one person can make you only need to look at Luisa,” she said.

“20 years is an incredible milestone and just goes to show how volunteering can get under your skin and become a lifelong passion.

“Across ACH Group we have more than 120 remarkable volunteers who, like Luisa, do such much to foster companionship and support social connection.”
