01 — Assistive & Enabling Technology
Expert evaluation and implementation, start to finish.
Our CEO, Eli Maina, is a certified Assistive Technology Specialist. He leads every assessment personally — evaluating the client's home, abilities, and goals before recommending any device or system. From voice-activated smart home controls to custom communication devices, we install, configure, and train clients and families — then stay available as needs evolve. Remote Support and Safety & Wellness Monitoring are part of this service, so the technology in the home is backed by real people checking in on it.
What's Included
Everything in Assistive & Enabling Technology
Certified Assessment
Eli Maina, our certified Assistive Technology Specialist, leads every home evaluation — assessing mobility, cognition, communication, and environment before recommending anything.
Smart Home Controls
Voice-activated lighting, thermostats, door locks, and appliances configured to be intuitive — so technology supports independence rather than adding complexity.
Communication Devices
Custom AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) tools for clients who need support expressing themselves — selected and configured specifically for them.
Installation & Training
We install everything, configure it to the client's preferences, and train both the client and family members until everyone feels confident.

We present a clear, prioritised list of tools and modifications with honest cost and benefit for each. No upselling, no unnecessary devices.

Common Questions
Frequently asked about Assistive & Enabling Technology
Not at all. That's the whole point of the assessment — we choose technology that matches the person's actual abilities, not a wishlist of gadgets. Simple and reliable always wins over feature-rich and confusing.
A typical home assessment takes 60 to 90 minutes. We observe daily routines, ask questions, and test a few things before making any recommendations.
Both are part of this service. Remote Support covers the scheduled and on-demand check-ins that keep daily routines on track; Safety & Wellness Monitoring covers fall detection and activity trends. You can take either on its own, or alongside an assistive technology setup — each has its own page with full details.
Equipment costs vary widely by need. We provide honest pricing upfront, and we can advise on funding options including Medicaid waivers, VA benefits, and Michigan assistance programs that may help cover costs.
We stay involved. As abilities change — whether improving or declining — we reassess and adjust the setup. You're not buying a one-time solution; you're starting a long-term support relationship.
