Build a technology plan that fits the life you want to keep living.
A helpful device can solve one problem and add another: an account someone else controls, a subscription you forgot, or a routine that fails when the internet goes down. How do you decide what belongs in your home and keep it manageable?
Your Smart Independence Plan helps older adults and the families who support them turn separate technology decisions into a practical plan for aging in place. Start with your own goals, take stock of what you already have, and choose changes you can use and maintain.
Inside, you will learn how to:
- Set priorities before shopping: identify everyday difficulties, choose what needs attention now, and give later purchases a clear reason to wait.
- Choose a manageable set of devices: connect each addition to a real need, check dependencies, and keep useful manual controls.
- Budget for ownership: account for subscriptions, replacements, complexity, and the time someone will spend helping.
- Keep control of access: agree on account ownership, privacy boundaries, family permissions, and support roles before problems arise.
- Prepare for interruptions: map power, internet, charging, and account-recovery needs, with practical backups for important functions.
- Put the plan into everyday use: introduce one project at a time, work through a 30-day implementation sequence, and review what to keep, simplify, change, or remove.
Use 12 worksheets and planning tools to record your decisions. The Total Cost & Complexity Budget, Support Roles Agreement, One-Year Smart Independence Plan, and other tools help turn good intentions into responsibilities, review dates, and next steps.
Bring the pieces together in a one-year plan with up to three meaningful outcomes. A quarterly review helps you adjust when your needs, household, devices, or support arrangements change.
Use this guide on its own or to bring the Smart Independence at Home series into one personal plan. You do not need every device or every earlier volume.
Make your next technology decision with a clear purpose, a workable budget, and a plan for what happens afterward.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
