We all love music. Great-sounding music in the home means having good speakers, and being able to play our favorite music, easily. This is especially true for those who are at home more and need elderly care. Sherman Oaks, CA families have options for both great speakers and great services for senior home care.
Nowadays, having great speakers, and connecting them to your audio player doesn’t require running wires all over the place, nor of keeping all kinds of records, tapes, cassettes, or even CDs. Music can be played over Bluetooth or Wifi, and most music comes to us streamed over the internet — both of these can be helped by an excellent senior companion. Sherman Oaks, CA residents can rely on the trained, compassionate CAREGivers of Home Instead to help with both.
Whether you listen to music from Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Google, Youtube, iHeartRadio, or other streaming music service, you can connect your phone, tablet, laptop, or even your desktop wirelessly to any of a number of great speakers to play it loud and clear. Here are some great options, some of which even respond to voice commands, which makes it even more convenient for those times when you don’t have the assistance of your residential assisted living personnel.
The first is the Bose SoundTouch 30. This smart speaker connects to the internet directly. By using the easy-to-use app on your phone, you can play music straight from Pandora, or you can use the SoundTouch as a Bluetooth speaker and play music from your phone. The sound quality is excellent — just what you expect from Bose.
The second that we will recommend is the IKEA Symfonisk Bookshelf. The name is funny — it is IKEA, after all — but the sound quality, and price, are excellent. This one fits nicely on a bookshelf, or — and we are not making this up — it can be mounted on the wall to act as a small shelf for books or knick-knacks. And a bonus: even though it is IKEA, if you do not want to mount it on the wall there is no additional assembly required! Of course, if you do want to mount it, you can probably rely on a Home Instead CAREGiver who is providing your home care assistance. Sherman Oaks, CA residents are fortunate to have such an option!
The third that we will mention is the Sonos One. This one is a little more expensive, but it also allows users to control it with voice commands — it is compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. The sound quality is top-notch, and, like some of the other options, it can be included in a multi-room, multi-speaker sound system. This way 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 elderly companion care near Sherman Oaks, CA will be happy to help you decide which one makes the most sense, and then to set it up. And the best around is Home Instead. Contact us today to find out how our compassionate, trained, licensed, and bonded CAREGivers can make all the difference for you! Call today at (818) 805-2208
