I have visited a centre in Knowsley - near Liverpool in the UK - they have
installed a range of equipment in what looks an ordinary house. Older
people are invited to visit to try out the equipment and get a sense of
what it might look like and how it might work in their own home. Management
has been passed from the Council to the local Home Improvement Agency -
Care and Repair Knowsley who can be contacted at:
0151-548 6668 and the 'Smart House' is promoted on their website:
