In home-based elderly care services, home security management is a very important task.

At the same time, home security management also provides more effective management and monitoring methods for elderly care service institutions, improving service quality and efficiency.
Home security management in home-based elderly care services refers to the use of various technical means and measures to ensure the safety of the elderly at home and prevent potential risks. Specifically, home security management mainly includes the following aspects:
Install surveillance cameras: Install cameras in important locations such as the elderly's residential areas and entrances/exits to monitor their activities and access in real-time.
Install access control system: Install access control system, only authorized personnel can enter the elderly's residential area, effectively preventing strangers from entering.
Install alarm equipment: Install smoke alarms, gas alarms, emergency help buttons, and other equipment to promptly detect and respond to emergencies such as fires and gas leaks.
Regular inspection: Assign dedicated personnel to conduct regular inspections to check the living environment, equipment and facilities of the elderly for normal operation, and promptly handle any problems found.
Provide home caregivers: Provide professional home caregivers for the elderly, responsible for their daily care, care, and safety management.
In addition to the above measures, intelligent technologies such as facial recognition and smart door locks can also be combined to improve the reliability and convenience of home security management. The overall goal is to ensure the safety of the elderly at home, prevent accidents and emergencies, and provide a safe and comfortable home-based elderly care environment.
However, there are often difficulties and problems encountered in home-based elderly care services. Firstly, there are significant individual differences among the elderly, and their living habits and needs are also different. It is a challenge to provide personalized home security management services based on individual differences. Secondly, elderly people may not have a high acceptance and ability to use new technologies, and they may feel unfamiliar with smart devices and systems, which increases the difficulty of promotion and application. In addition, privacy issues are also a factor to consider, as elderly people may feel uncomfortable with home monitoring and management, fearing that their privacy may be violated.
