SCG HOME Experience invites you to explore the readiness of your home for family members, whether they are adults approaching an older age or children who require special safety considerations. It is essential to prepare living spaces that are suitable and of high quality to ensure both 'physical well-being' and 'peace of mind,' creating a good quality of life for all ages in the family.

How to Become a Smart Elderly

Managing living spaces is a crucial starting point that enhances the potential and quality of life for the elderly and positively impacts all family members. Proper home space management must consider principles to prevent and reduce accidents, facilitate easier living, and promote good health. Although physical decline occurs daily, appropriate design and management of spaces can help address these challenges.

Daily routines, starting from waking up in the morning in the bedroom, should be close to the bathroom, with soft lighting that allows clear visibility throughout the room. The width should be sufficient for wheelchair use, and the flooring should be even, especially in the bedroom, which should have shock-absorbing surfaces. Grab bars should be installed in the bedroom and bathroom, along with necessary emergency buttons. Door handles should be lever-type or push-type for easy operation.

In shared common areas with family members, it is essential to install equipment or furniture that accommodates the elderly, considering height and usability. From the interior, the space should open up to the outside atmosphere through easily operable windows that provide good ventilation. Outdoor areas should have ramps for wheelchairs at a 1:12 ratio, along with grab bars for stability, leading to a relaxation garden equipped with a Soft Decking System suitable for family members of all ages, catering to everyone's individual needs.

A highlight of this era is the innovations developed specifically for the elderly, such as Care Beds, which are electric adjustable beds designed to offer multiple height settings, along with safety rails and bedside grab bars to assist with mobility. The mattress should be chosen to suit the user's physique, preventing pressure on the abdomen when adjusting the backrest, or stair lifts for families wanting to provide the elderly with the freedom to access all levels of the home comfortably and safely.

Even materials have been innovated to meet diverse needs, such as shock-absorbing tiles that reduce the severity of slip-and-fall accidents, or Hygienic Tiles that can inhibit bacteria on their surface by up to 90%, ensuring good hygiene even in invisible air conditions. These features are not only suitable for adults but also beneficial for family members of all ages.

All these innovations, designs, and preparations for elderly-friendly homes can be consulted and detailed at SCG Care Living Solution, which offers standard products, design consultation, and installation by SCG experts.
