MEDCottage™
Looks are quite deceiving with N2Care’s signature MedCottage. On the outside, you see a charming, modular home that can easily be placed on a homeowner’s property.
The inside is a completely different story. It maintains elements of a comfortable home, using the space efficiently to create sleeping, living and bathing areas, but it is equipped with the latest technical advances in the industry to assist with care-giving duties. With a smart robotic feature, it can monitor vital signs, filter the air for contaminants, and communicate with the outside world via high-tech video. Sensors alert caregivers to an occupant's fall, and medication reminders are provided via computers. Technology could also provide entertainment options including music, literature and movies.
