Great sounding music makes a home that much more comfortable. But great-sounding music means having good speakers, plus being able easily to play our favorite music. This is true especially for those who are at home more and need senior care. Thousand Oaks, CA residents have great options for both good speakers and excellent residential assisted living.

In this day and age, connecting great speakers to your audio player all around the home doesn’t mean running wires all over. It also doesn’t require keeping records, tapes, cassettes, or even CDs. Music is often played over Wifi or Bluetooth, and most music is streamed over the internet — both of these projects can be included in what you ask of your provider of elderly assisted living. Thousand Oaks, CA families can rely on the compassionate, trained CAREGivers of Home Instead for these needs.

No matter where you get your streaming music, whether from Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Youtube, Google, iHeartRadio, or other streaming services, music can be played directly from your phone, tablet, laptop, or even your desktop wirelessly. And it can be played to any of a number of great speakers. We’d like to suggest a few great options. One of them even responds to voice commands, making it even more convenient for those times when you don’t have the assistance of your personal senior care. Thousand Oaks, CA has excellent Home Instead CAREGivers, of course.

The first we suggest is the SoundTouch 30 by Bose. This is a smart speaker which connects directly to the internet. Via an easy-to-use app on your phone, tablet, or laptop, the SoundTouch 30 will play music straight from Pandora. You also can use the SoundTouch as a Bluetooth speaker and play music from your phone. The sound is clear and excellent — exactly what you expect from Bose.

The second in our list is the IKEA Symfonisk Bookshelf. It’s IKEA, so it has a funny name, but there’s nothing funny about the sound quality, or the price: both are excellent. This speaker fits nicely on a bookshelf, or — and get this — you can mount it on the wall and use it as a small shelf for books or curios. But don’t worry, if you don’t want to hang it on the wall, there is no additional assembly required, making it a very un-IKEA item, for sure! Of course, if you are interested in mounting it on the wall, you will be able to call on your Home Instead CAREGiver who is providing your elderly assisted living. Thousand Oaks, CA residents are fortunate to have such an option!

The last one that we will mention is the Sonos One. This option is a bit more expensive, but it comes enabled with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa — you can control it with your voice commands! It offers the top-notch sound quality, and it can be included in a multi-room, multi-speaker sound system. if you put it together with other speakers, you can play music in multiple rooms or just one room, all controlled by an app on your phone, or through voice commands.

There are many other options for home audio, and an excellent provider of personal care for seniors near Thousand Oaks, CA will be happy to help you decide which one makes the most sense for you.
