Fay’s Household

 

Josephine raised her only child Fay as a single-parent in Southern California. They have a close relationship. Two and a half years ago, Fay had been pursuing her PhD in public health when Josephine was hit by a car. Eventually she moved to the Bay Area to live with Fay.  Her memory and decision-making skills have deteriorated to such extents that Fay now makes all decisions and provides her with constant caregiving support. This has impacted their mother-daughter relationship significantly. In addition, Josephine is not as mobile as she once was, has developed arthritis and suffers gastrointestinal issues. Due to the demands of caring for Josephine, Fay has had to put her studies on hold. As she faces potentially increasing expenses for Josephine’s care, having no income compounds Fay’s worry.

    One Netatmo device was placed in the living room and another in the bathroom. The noise level in the living room, correlates with the activities recorded in Fay’s log, including the TV being on and construction noise (which was especially distressing at 4 pm on the first day). There were seven SmartThings motion detectors placed throughout the house. Fay spent a lot of time in her bedroom, presumably at her desk studying while Josephine spent a lot of time in the living room.
