Empowering people to have a great life
Want to maintain your independence while continuing to live in the home you love?
WESCO’s Aging in Place program brings our Next Step Living model to seniors, discreet smart-home safety technology paired with real, local humans on call around the clock. Stay in the home you love, with a safety net that respects your independence.
Aging in Place vs. the alternatives
Nursing homes are built for 24-hour medical care, and assisted living or home-health aides fit some families well. But if what your parent needs is safety, connection, and a helping hand, not round-the-clock medical care, Aging in Place typically costs far less while keeping them in the home they love.
How It Works
We start with a conversation
A free consultation and home walkthrough where we learn your routines, your concerns, and what “independent” looks like for you.
We set up discreet support
Motion and safety sensors, medication reminders, emergency call options, technology that blends into your home. No cameras watching you live your life.
Real people, on call 24/7
When something seems off, or when you just need a hand, our local team responds. And your family stays in the loop.
The technology, in plain terms
- Motion and activity sensors that notice changes in routine, like no morning movement.
- Medication reminders.
- Stove and fall-risk awareness.
- An emergency call option with a 24/7 connection to our local team.
- Two-way voice check-ins.
- No screens to learn, no cameras watching.
Who It’s For

Questions, Answered Plainly
Is someone watching me all the time?
No. Discreet sensors notice patterns, like no morning movement, and our team checks in. No cameras, no hovering.
What happens in an emergency?
Emergency call options connect you to our on-call team immediately, 24/7.
What happens if the technology stops working?
The technology is only one part of the safety net. Real people are on call around the clock, and a sensor going quiet is itself a change in pattern that our team notices and checks on. You are never relying on a gadget alone.
Do I have to learn new technology?
No. There are no screens to learn and no cameras watching. The support blends into your home, and our team handles the rest.
Does insurance or Medicaid cover this?
Aging in Place is typically private pay. We’ll walk you through your options honestly in your free consultation.
What does it cost?
Every plan is personalized, so there is no one price. Aging in Place typically costs far less than nursing home or assisted living care, and your free consultation includes a clear, honest quote. No surprises.
Where is this available?
Aging in Place is just getting started, and Denison is where it begins. As the program grows, so will the area it reaches. If you are nearby and want to be first to know when it comes your way, give us a call.
How is this different from a medical alert button?
A button helps after something happens. Smart-home awareness plus human check-ins helps prevent things, and catches what a button can’t.
How do I know Aging in Place is the right fit instead of assisted living?
If your parent mostly needs safety awareness, daily check-ins, and a helping hand, and wants to stay home, Aging in Place is often the simpler, more affordable answer. If they need daily medical care or hands-on help around the clock, assisted living or home-health care may fit better. We will tell you honestly which one it is in your free consultation.
Can my family stay involved?
Yes. Your family stays in the loop. When our local team responds or checks in, the people you choose hear about it, whether they live across town or miles away.
