Our Process
1. Planning
Successful integration of technology begins with planning and preparation. We want to make the process easy for you to get started. Here are our suggestions for steps you can take prior to integrating technology:
Create a technology team and select a primary contact
Connect with local agencies and your funding source(s) to let them know you are enhancing your service model
Visit other providers and programs that are already integrating technology as a natural support
Research your state’s Medicaid waivers to determine if and how enabling/assistive technology is covered
Determine if your organization would benefit from additional education, consultation, and/or coaching related to implementing technology
2. Connecting
Whether you want to learn more about our technology or are interested in enhancing your business model, working with SimplyHome begins with a conversation. We want to listen to you. Set up a complimentary webinar with us today.
We keep the lines of communication open to answer any questions you might have and help you navigate the funding options in your state. And when you’re ready, we move into discussing products and services that can become a part of your organization’s natural support system.
3. Designing
We take an outcomes-driven approach to technology. Each system recommendation is unique to meet the individual’s specific needs and goals. Utilizing your program assessment and our technology intake process, we explore each individual’s priorities, concerns, and preferences for how they want to live.
We then design a customized system for your review. Once you’ve confirmed the design and signed the quote, we begin programming and preparing for installation.
4. Integrating
Integrating technology involves more than installing equipment. It can also include:
Updating policies and procedures
Educating staff, individuals, and families
Collaborating with community partners
Navigating funding streams
For providers, we not only offer customized technology products, but we can also provide customized services and consulting.
Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible for you and the individuals you serve. Through excellent customer service and individualized tech support, we are available 24/7, if needed.
5. Evaluating
Technology evolves, people’s needs evolve, and services evolve. As a result, ongoing assessment becomes a critical part of the process. The data from our technology can assist you in evaluating an individual’s level of independence, updating Individualized Service Plans, and enhancing direct support services. For our part, we will be here to update current technology systems and prepare you for what’s next on the horizon.

Our Process
1. Person-Centered Assessment
Meet David. He is an accomplished young man with Down syndrome who has a vision for his life, as well as concerns about adhering to a daily schedule on his own. His state’s Medicaid waiver included funding for assistive technology that would enable his independence. Learn more about funding options.
2. Designing a Custom System
We recommended a system for David that included custom verbal prompts to help with his daily routines, a medication dispenser, and sensors to help him with cooking and residential safety.
The system design includes parameters that trigger real-time notifications to staff or family members; for example, David’s mother gets a call if he forgets to get up for work or to turn off the stove. Learn more about the concerns we can address.
3. Activating Your Custom System
SimplyHome’s team worked onsite to install the technology and ensure the system was ready to support the outcomes chosen by David. The team also helped familiarize David, his family members, and staff with the secure web portal and the system’s real-time alerts. Learn more about the SimplyHome System.
4. Living Independently
David uses SimplyHome technology to:
Cook his own meals and receive verbal cues to turn off the stove if he leaves it on
Remember to close and lock the doors when leaving or returning home
Complete morning and night routines of self-care and meal preparation
Take his medication on time
Access help quickly if needed
Since David’s system was installed, he has successfully completed internships related to emergency medical care and athletic injuries, obtained a job with the local EMS, and he frequently volunteers in his community.
5. Real-Time Alerts & Insights
David’s SimplyHome system provides verbal prompts to help him complete his daily routine. When David does not respond to a verbal prompt, his mother receives a real-time alert.
Authorized caregivers can log into the SimplyHome secure web portal and see the data logged by the installed sensors.
6. Ongoing Customer Support
SimplyHome provides 24/7 customer support and provides ongoing training, troubleshooting, and other resources to individuals and their care teams.
As David’s priorities and goals change over time, the SimplyHome team can reassess and adapt the technology to meet new outcomes. Learn more about ongoing reassessment.
