Active Aging

Maintaining independence is extremely important when it comes to healthy aging. Whether your primary issue is safety or mobility, Best Buy carries many devices that improve connectivity and enhance self-reliance for people who are older. For paying bills and keeping up with emails, there are specific computers for seniors that feature larger screens and buttons, along with voice command capabilities. Staying in touch with family members also helps encourage an agile mind, which is integral to overall health and wellness as one ages. Speaking of loved ones, devices such as smart security systems and Wi-Fi thermostats are ideal gifts for grandparents who live in their own home.

Making the relationship between older people and technology a positive one is a priority for Best Buy. Whether that’s helping seniors buy a smart display to video call with friends and family or offering a wide selection of blood pressure monitors for health management, our Blue Shirts are happy to assist you while you shop in our stores.

After you choose the products that will help you meet your goals for healthy aging, consider whether your home is optimized for their successful operation. For example, if you don’t have a reliable Wi-Fi network, the senior tech you purchase won’t perform the way it’s intended. This is because innovative technology for seniors requires a strong internet connection and enough bandwidth to handle the data needs of multiple electronics. To be sure your home is upgraded with a system that can support your smart door locks and other wireless tech, make an appointment with our Geek Squad^® for a free home consultation.
