‘Game Changer’: Long Island Smart Home opens with appliances and automatic features for those with disabilities

It is a brilliant concept.

A new smart home for those with disabilities opened on Long Island and has quickly become a “game changing” for the daily life of its residents.

“If it weren’t for this house, it would not be as independent as it is now,” he told The Post Aj Duran, 33, who recently moved to Shirley’s property in Suffolk County.

The ownership of four bedrooms, which is operated by the locally operated organization, has been covered with high -tech appliances and voice -controlled services for residents to make the most of the AIDS of the house to manage tiny tasks.

Its sink, fridge, kitchen tapas, oven and blinds are controlled by Bluetooth and can be activated and disabled remotely for residents of different LI communities.

The oven door opens from top to bottom, which allows wheelchair users to cook, while the sink and upper part of the kitchen can be vertically adjusted to the simple touch of a button.

“People who may benefit from modern technology often have the least access to her,” said Free CEO, Robert Budd, about the thousands who gave the opportunity to electronically open April.

He added that houses like this, especially on Long Island, are few and very distant, and that the success of the installation is released towards the opening. House updates were funded through Medicaid and its toilet, stove, blinds and oven were the most precious features of several thousands of combined dollars.

Budd added other features, such as the link of Amazon Alexa devices, individual climate controls for each room and smart devices, and were also profitable.

“This house was our commitment to ensure that these people could have greater autonomy … This type of independence leads to greater emotional well-being and greater emotional well-being leads to greater general health.”

Duran, which has cerebral palsy and is based on a wheelchair for mobility, makes the most of the easy -to -use appliances inside the new kitchen of his home.

“So many doors and things have been opened for me that I couldn’t do before. Now I can access the kitchen, I can make a sandwich on my own,” said Duran.

Using an Alexa device to learn recipes at a workstation in the kitchen, they will now discover for the first time that it has a culinary passion. He has been cooking a storm with dinners such as pasta and meat sauce, turkey in a smart aeron and taco nights for his roommates.

“I love my independence and I don’t have to ask people to make me a meal,” he said.

“This new house and all there is really the best you have ever done for people like me.”

Alyssa Slade, who moves on Wednesday, is very hard awaits the multimedia appearance of easy access to the house, which has the Amazon Alexa devices in each room.

“Everything here is so beautiful,” said the 32 -year -old autism, while turning his new residence on Monday. “I love music, I love music videos and I like television programs … This is the most exciting part for me.”

Home Supervisor Deborah Brock said that innovative teams are already changing the behavior of the two Slade residents and another will be united in the coming weeks.

“It’s really exciting, especially for aj … comes and goes when she wants, eats when she wants and has access to everything for herself,” said Brock.

“It is to encourage these people to do more for themselves than to depend on others to get help. It is certainly a change, no doubt a gaming changer.”
