Cover Story: As populations age, dementia care is becoming a major social challenge, affecting not only patients but also families, caregivers, and healthcare systems. We introduce a privacy-preserving ambient assisted living framework that transforms the home into an active caregiving partner, enabling older adults to age in place with dignity and safety. Through affordable zero-interface audiovisual technologies and edge AI, the system maintains continuous, unobtrusive connections between elders, guardians, and clinicians without requiring complex devices or user interaction. By revealing meaningful changes in daily behavior while protecting privacy, this approach supports earlier interventions, reduces caregiver uncertainty, and helps preserve human connection in an increasingly aging society. View this paper
