Many seniors need to -- or want to -- remain in their homes as they get older. It’s often referred to as “aging in place.” But they often need help. More and more, that help is coming in the form of new technology. This week on WRVO's health and wellness show "Take Care," hosts Lorraine Rapp and Linda Lowen speak with David Lindeman, director of the Center for Technology and Aging in Oakland, CA about some of the new gadgets and devices that can help the elderly remain safe and healthy at home.

More of this interview can be heard on "Take Care," WRVO's health and wellness show Saturday at 6:30 a.m. and Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Support for this story comes from the Health Foundation for Western and Central New York.
