Amazon Alexa Supports Care Providers With Senior Living Product

Amazon has announced the launch of Alexa Smart Properties for Senior Living to specifically support the needs of older residents and those who are providing care to them. It will enable Alexa devices to be integrated into assisted living and care facilities.

Amazon Alexa Smart Properties gives the ability for care providers to deploy, manage and service a fleet of Echo devices quickly, remotely and at scale, working with solution providers to customize them.

Care teams can ‘communicate with residents using Amazon Alexa communication features such as making announcements and voice and video calls. Property managers will also be able to engage with residents by displaying activities, menus and reminders on Echo Show devices. 

It will also empower residents to control their environment with an Amazon Alexa device, giving them greater independence. Residents will gain greater control of their environment including lighting, heating and blinds giving them greater independence and freeing up caregiver time. The Alexa-to-Alexa facility will ensure residents can easily stay in touch with friends and family members too.’

Amazon Alexa Smart Properties has been rolled out to several UK locations including: Majesticare’s Cavendish Park Care Home, Blind Veterans UK’s respite care centre in North Wales.
