Ring Technology Empowering Seniors and Disabled Individuals in Central Indiana
Enhancing Safety with Ring Technology
INDIANAPOLIS — In a significant move to support seniors and individuals living with disabilities, local organizations are offering 500 free Ring doorbell cameras to help maintain safety and independence. CICOA Aging & Disability Resource Center, in collaboration with USAging, aims to improve the quality of life for this vulnerable population through innovative technology.
Why Ring Technology Matters
According to Sandy Markwood, CEO of USAging, "Ring is a technology that addresses critical needs of older adults by adding a layer of safety and allowing them to see who is at their door." This initiative not only provides security but empowers seniors to age safely in their homes.
