Senior living care teams are managing more residents with greater care needs, navigating tighter staffing, and using a patchwork of tools that rarely talk to each other. This is a clear pain point that lives across the industry, but it can be difficult to address when systems and processes are already ingrained in a community’s care-giving culture.
Our SafelyYou experts have found that 38% of unintentional falls are related to the bed and 80% of intentional self-lowering occurs at the bedside. That means there are opportunities to improve safety and function when it comes to beds.
Our latest case study outlines how eight Highgate Senior Living communities made SafelyYou part of their safety plan in 2020—and went 126 days without an ER visit resulting from a fall. Reducing ER visits was critical during this time due to the risk of exposure to COVID-19. And while keeping residents safe and out of the ER is always a priority for Highgate, it became even more important during the pandemic. That’s why they chose SafelyYou.
Real-time fall detection using SafelyYou’s artificial intelligence-enabled video recording reduced residents’ time on the ground after a fall by 29.6 minutes and time until staff assistance by 28.3 minutes, according to research results on post-fall care in memory care published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.
The summer solstice on June 20 marks the longest day of the year following the longest year of a lifetime for many. While all had our challenges, it was especially difficult for those caring for a loved one living with Alzheimer’s.
