Personalized notifications that notify a patient’s healthcare practitioner in situations of physical/mental trauma are also included in telemonitoring services. The use of information and communications technology to monitor and transmit data related to patient health status between geographically separated individuals [57] enables home monitoring of patients (living at home or in nursing or residential care homes) using external electronic devices in combination with a telecommunications system (using a land line phone or mobile telephone is referred to as telemedicine).

Relocation is often a necessary process that older adults and their families face as functional and cognitive declines necessitate environmental adaptations (Gilbert et al., 2015, Roy et al., 2018). Gilbert et al. (2015) finds older adults who live in home settings often lack adaptive amenities to compensate for functional declines such as grab bars, safety rails, and emergency call systems, compared to older adults living in communities that are designed to have structural adaptations in place. Facilities can be an important resource for those with cognitive decline such as dementia as well (CDC/NCHS, 2016). Assisted living facilities are 24-hour residential care environments that aim to provide older adults assistance with activities of daily living, meals, cleaning services, and programming while maintaining older adults’ autonomy, privacy, and comfort (CDC/NCHS, 2016).
