  • Saturday, 15 Jul 2017

Open wardrobes with built-in lights can make life easier for people with poor eyesight or visual impairments.

The phrase "smart home" conjures up images of lighting and heating controlled by a tablet; switching the oven on with your phone on the way home so that it's already warm when you arrive. 

But in reality, smart homes are not just about the latest hand-held gadgets. They can include any technology designed to make life easier, more comfortable and more secure – which makes them particularly useful for older people.
