Natural Supports
McElvain Homes enabling technology creates greater possibilities of independence, dignity, and self-determination. We work with people with disabilities and families to prioritize their own and their loved ones' independence. As we customize our smart sensor technology, we prioritize the individual’s goals and preferences. Enabling technology facilitates the activities of daily living, addresses concerns, and enables people to live more independently, taking risks with appropriate safety nets.

Person-Centered Assessment
Meet Daniel. He is an accomplished young man with Autism who has a vision for his life, as well as concerns about adhering to a daily schedule on his own. His state’s Medicaid waiver included funding for assistive technology that would enable his independence.
Designing a Custom System
We recommended a system for Daniel that included custom verbal prompts to help with his daily routines, a medication dispenser, and sensors to help him with cooking and residential safety. The system design includes parameters that trigger real-time notifications to staff or family members; for example, David’s remote support staff gets a call if he forgets to get up for work or to turn off the stove.
