The story
Young at heart, Maureen was looking forward to spending her retirement years taking up new hobbies and enjoying time with her grandchildren. Sadly, Maureen’s health quickly deteriorated and her arthritis got progressively worse over the years. Still living in her own home, Maureen was facing daily challenges when wanting to complete the simplest of tasks. Her arthritis meant that getting out of her chair to turn a light on, or answer the door meant she was struggling more and more and began to feel that her house was a burden. Wanting to keep her independence and not wanting to leave the happy memories of her family home, Maureen’s family helped her to get into contact with Steeper and arrange for an assessment to be carried out free of charge at her home.

The solution
Soon after her assessment with a Steeper engineer, Maureen chose to have the Steeper evoassist application installed. evoassist is an innovative application that transforms an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad into a universal environmental control device. Working with the latest Apple technology, evoassist is designed to integrate seamlessly with Steeper’s comprehensive range of home automation systems and return a level of independence to its users.
