Why we know this works!
Providing automatic reminders for daily tasks via a smart speaker can allow someone the ability to maintain thier independence for longer and keep loved ones in the role of family and less in the role of caregiver.
A smart speaker (Google Home or Amazon Alexa are popular options) makes this easy because it can be set up and then left in the person's space to automatically provide gentle reminders that don't require the person to touch the device or remember many commands.
Here are videos for how to setup reminders:
