Smart Homes

Safer routines. Easier care. More independence at home.

Carevio’s Smart Home program brings simple, privacy respectful technology into the daily care routine so individuals can do more on their own and families worry less. We start small, one home, a few meaningful automations, and prove value before anything expands. The result is a calmer day, clearer communication, and support that keeps working even when a caregiver isn’t in the room.

This program is designed for children, teens, and adults in Metro Detroit who would benefit from gentle prompts, safety alerts, or hands free help around the house. It’s a great fit for families balancing CLS or Respite with school, work, or therapy, and for anyone who wants to build independence without adding more to the caregiver’s plate.

What the Smart Home Includes

Every home begins with a short discovery call and a home walkthrough. We identify one to three daily pain points think missed meds, wandering, night-time wakeups, or difficulty starting tasks and choose low-friction tools to match. Typical solutions include voice or visual prompts for routines, medication reminders with acknowledgement, door and motion alerts for safety, scene buttons that set up the room for bedtime, and environment controls like lights or thermostats that respond to a simple phrase. We install or coordinate installation, connect everything to a secure hub, and train the family so the system is easy to use from day one.

How a Smart Home Works Day to Day

The home keeps doing the quiet work in the background. Morning lights may brighten gently while a speaker offers a two-step prompt; a pill dispenser notifies the family if a dose is missed; a leak or door sensor sends a discreet alert if something needs attention. Caregivers can check a private dashboard or receive summarized updates, and we adjust the timing or prompts as habits improve. At the end of each week, we review what helped and what can be simplified.

Getting Started

Enrollment is straightforward. We learn your goals and safety notes, document preferred routines, and map the rooms you want supported. Next, we propose a minimal device set and a simple automation plan that avoids complexity and subscription creep. After installation and a quick training session, the pilot runs for 60–90 days with scheduled check-ins. If the setup reduces stress and increases independence, we leave it in place and decide together what, if anything, should come next.

Voice activated temperature controls

Change heat or A/C with a simple phrase or button. Keeps rooms comfortable, saves energy, and avoids reaching for hard-to-use thermostats.

Stove and bed sensors

Get discreet alerts if a burner is left on or if someone leaves the bed unexpectedly at night adding safety without disrupting routines.

Motion activated lighting

Lights turn on automatically in hallways and bathrooms to prevent trips and falls, then shut off to save energy when the space is empty.

Fall Alerts

Wearable or room sensor detection sending instant alerts if a fall or sudden lack of movement is detected. Includes a quick “I’m okay” response and optional escalation if there’s no reply.

Fridge Locks

Scheduled, PIN-based access keeps medications and restricted foods secure. Get a notification if the door is left open and allow quick caregiver overrides when needed.

Doorway Reminder & Auto-Lock

When a door opens during set hours, a calm voice reminds. If the door stays open, you’ll get a quick alert and the lock can auto-secure after a short delay.

Education and skill learning

Gentle prompts, visual timers, and routine checklists support task initiation and completion great for hygiene, homework, chores, and bedtime wind-downs.

Technology supported medication administration

Smart dispensers and reminders cue the right dose at the right time and notify caregivers if a dose is missed or delayed.

And many more personalized technology solutions

From door and leak sensors to scene buttons and voice prompts, we tailor simple tools to your home, goals, and comfort level no complicated setups.
