Safety Tips for Seniors During Fire Prevention Week

In observance of Fire Prevention Week, Home Instead Senior Care wants to help older adults identify potential fire risks in their homes. For family members or family caregivers, Fire Prevention Week is the perfect time to have a conversation about fire safety with aging loved ones, as they may be particularly vulnerable in the event of a fire.

For example, over time, a decrease in sensory skills can make it difficult for seniors to identify signs of a fire. They may not smell natural gas or burning food. Vision impairments can contribute to depth perception issues, increasing risks related to placing flammable items near open flames, such as candles or stovetops.

"As we age, it's natural that we lose the full-capacity of our senses," explains Lakelyn Hogan, Gerontologist and Caregiver Advocate at Home Instead Senior Care. "Because their senses can't protect them like they once could, we must take time for extra precautions to help seniors protect themselves in other ways from fire risks."

Additional factors that can put seniors at increased risk include memory loss and limited mobility. Memory loss can be a dangerous factor when a senior forgets to turn off the oven, blow out a candle or clean out the lint drawer in the dryer. For those with mobility challenges, they may need assistance to evacuate in the event of a fire, especially for those living in a multilevel dwelling, such as an apartment where elevators will not be in use and they must exit by stairs.

Home Instead Senior Care offers these five tips to help reduce the risk of fire loss in your home or the home of a loved one:

Use Candle Alternatives – Candles create great fire risks in the home. They are easily forgotten. Wall plug-in lights are a smart alternative to open-flame candles for seniors to decrease the risk of catching nearby objects on fire.

Make Fire Extinguishers Accessible – Do not store fire extinguishers in hard-to-reach places or out of sight from the kitchen. Seniors should keep fire extinguishers in easy-to-reach places where they can get them quickly.

Keep Outlets Clear – Electric malfunctions are a leading cause of house fires. Make sure to keep flammable items away from outlets. Also, do not plug too many devices into an outlet. This is especially true in the winter months, when electricity use is high and people put up seasonal decorations.

Set-up an evacuation plan – For seniors with limited mobility, or those that live alone, establish a plan for evacuation in the event of a fire. Practice that plan to make sure your aging loved one knows how to get out. This may include getting neighbors involved to ensure someone is available and prepared to assist in the event that evacuation becomes necessary.

According to The NPD Group, 73 Percent of U.S. Consumers Play Video Games

According to 2019 Evolution of Entertainment Study, the latest report from The NPD Group, 73 percent of Americans ages 2 and older play video games, an increase of 6 percentage points since June 2018.

In the U.S., playing video games accounts for 17 percent of consumers' entertainment time and 11 percent of their total entertainment spend. However, while gaming engagement appears to be relatively stable overall, notable increases in both engagement and spending have been seen amongst kids ages 2 to 17.

"Kids are becoming a more influential part of the gaming marketplace thanks to games such as Fortnite and Minecraft, assisted by the growing influence of YouTube and Twitch," said Mat Piscatella, games industry analyst at The NPD Group. "More than one-third of kids are spending more time playing video games than they were a year ago, while well over 20 percent are also spending more."

Mobile remains the most accessible and popular gaming platform, with mobile gaming appealing to gamers across all consumer segments. Most mobile gaming consumers play on a daily, or near-daily basis, while gaming on PC's and consoles is more variable, tending to occur less often for longer sessions as it necessitates settling in for more intensive experiences.

"Because so many people own or have access to smart devices, and because gaming applications available on these devices offer many inexpensive, even free experiences, they remain the most accessible entry point for those who are curious about gaming," said Piscatella. "Mobile is where many experience gaming for the first time, allowing for an easy entry point to the broader world of gaming."

Methodology
An online survey was fielded in June 2019 to members of NPD's online panel. The survey was completed by 5,000 individuals ages 2 and older. Participants in this survey were recruited from two representative pools: Adults (respondents ages 18+) were recruited for participation directly and completed the survey based on their own habits; and Children / Teens (respondents ages 2 to 17) were recruited via parent surrogates. Children over age 10 were instructed to complete the survey for themselves (with parental help, if needed). Parents of younger children were asked to complete the survey on their child's behalf, with the help of their child (if able). For the purposes of this analysis, respondents qualified as participants in an entertainment category if they reported that they had personally participated in a relevant activity in the six months prior to the survey.

Addigy Announces Apple Device Management Support for macOS Catalina

Addigy, a leading provider of cloud-based Apple Device Management software, today announced general availability (GA) of its enhanced platform with support for macOS 10.15 Catalina. Addigy's latest generation technology enables full utilization of Catalina's new features, including support for 64-bit systems and advanced privacy controls.

Addigy Apple Device Management for Catalina enables IT solution providers and businesses to rapidly upgrade their entire network of macOS systems to the new 10.15 OS, the most advanced version of Apple's operating system to date. With Catalina, there are significant upgrades to end-user privacy and system security. There is also the ability for users to create macOS apps from iPad apps and run those apps natively alongside existing macOS applications so that users can drag and drop content between them. Full advantage can be taken of the larger screen and powerful architecture of the macOS system to provide a seamless experience across devices.

The macOS 10.15 Catalina introduces a focus on 64-bit applications and the end of support for 32-bit apps. The move to 64-bit allows for modernization of the OS to take advantage of new capabilities while reducing the attack footprint of the OS. Catalina also includes stronger end-user privacy controls that are more closely in-sync with Apple iOS. To assist customers in preparing for the release of Catalina, the company provides a checklist to make the transition as seamless as possible. Be alert to read related news.

Addigy's full-stack cloud-based Apple Device Management platform allows for centralized management of Catalina macOS and iOS13 computing environments. The solution provides 24x7x365 oversight of Apple devices to ensure systems are secure, up-to-date, and running at the highest levels of efficiency. IT administrators can thoroughly audit their Apple assets quickly, without server setup to identify which OS versions and applications are installed, and whether updates have been applied to all machines on the network. Catalina will be a big turning point in the hardening of Apple machines and Addigy's immediate support will simplify how these devices need to be managed upon release.

"Addigy is pleased to support the latest generation macOS. Catalina provides important new features and security enhancements such as Enhanced Gatekeeper, Data Protections, Activation Lock, and Dedicated System Volume," said Jason Dettbarn, CEO, Addigy. "As our customers move to the new OS, we are there to support customers and ensure a hassle-free upgrade from start to finish," said Jason Dettbarn, CEO, Addigy.
