We have lights that are connected to our Amazon Echo. My husband has some mobility issues and this way he can turn lights on and off without getting up.
You can also now connect to doctors through video chat. They can see what is going without a person going into an office. This keeps an elderly person from being exposed to germs that their often weakened immune system has trouble fighting. Also many don't drive and so it helps them see the doctor without having to find transportation.
They can order groceries and refill prescriptions online and have them delivered.
