SmartHomes Update

During the five years since the first Imagine! SmartHome opened, we have:

• Hosted 151 tours and open houses at our SmartHomes, involving more than 1,000 people from all over the United States and countries including Japan, the Netherlands, England, France, Belgium, and Russia.
• Given 46 presentations at conferences across the country.
• Implemented technologies to foster caregiver efficiency.
• Decreased Imagine!’s carbon footprint. (The SmartHomes’ solar photo-voltaic systems have reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 50 tons to date!)
• Enhanced the lives of the individuals living in the SmartHomes who are, because of technology, now able to communicate online with family and friends, hold jobs, blog, and cook a meal, do a load of laundry, or get ready for their day independently!

Plenty to be proud of, but we’re just getting started!
