A SENIOR SMART HOUSE is Released

By: Christina Mancuso Sep. 03, 2015

Author Teri Lyn Vander Heiden has never built or designed a house in her 80 years. The true story about "A Senior Smart House: The Home That Cares for You" (published by Xlibris) came to this 80-year old widow, following an accident which rendered her in a coma for nearly a week. When she awoke, she could not sleep at night, so to rest her eyes, she was aware that voices came from within her when she began to write down what they were saying. Not being asleep or quite awake, she called this event her "twilight dreams." Keeping these words in a spiral pad, she shared them with a friend who was a contractor and he told her she was building a "smart house."

In this book, she reveals a revolutionary house, first of its kind - a bedroom at night that becomes a sitting room during the day. There are sensors that turn lights on or off, as well as sensors for heat, air, plumbing, etc. There is no need for her to move in with family or friends as she gets older, nor does she have to go into a senior center to be waited on. The house will take care of her. Using Feng Shui to create the 'CHI' energy to keep her strong and healthy, she designed and created a home that is a prototype for a handicapped person to live in, where he/she can enjoy the stay and feel independent. It is a unique system that looks after the inhabitant, complete with thoughtful designs and technology to make everyday activities easy.

While watching the house being built, she has written and published two books and she is currently finishing her third and fourth books, hopefully within the next six to eight months. To experience this special home, she encourages anyone to come by and visit. It is her hope that through this book, "A Senior Smart House: The Home That Cares for You," readers will get ideas, especially for a handicapped person, that they can take back to their home for comfort in their healing.
