A law passed last year could help. The law, HB 613, allows home and park owners to enter mediation to resolve disputes.

An article in Common Ground Magazine found that 80 percent of retirees are interested in smart thermostats or apps that control appliances; 76 percent would consider sensors and alerts or medication reminder apps to monitor their health; 67 percent are interested in health optimization technology, like air purification or a device to improve sleep; and 58 percent would consider home maintenance technology, like cleaning robots or heated driveways.
