Smart gadgets aren’t just for the younger crowd anymore. These days, technology is becoming easier to use — and it’s helping many over-60s live more comfortably, safely, and independently at home.

If you’ve ever wished for a little extra help around the house (without actually asking anyone), these clever devices might be just what you need.

Here’s a look at some of the best smart home gadgets worth having.

Smart speakers (Your new best friend)

Devices like Google Nest or Amazon Echo are brilliant for hands-free help. You can ask them to check the weather, set a reminder to take your medication, play your favourite music, or even call a loved one — just by speaking. No fiddling with tiny buttons or screens. Just simple, easy help when you need it.
