SafelyYou helps senior living communities reduce falls and retain residents. For Sonida Senior Living, SafelyYou reduced severe fall rate by 54%. In just 4 months. And did it while residents opting into SafelyYou services increased over 63% across 5 communities. When falls did occur, only 3% resulted in an ER visit or potential injury, compared to the industry average of 20% for potential serious injury. This meant dramatic reductions in costs and risk for families and communities. And keeping residents out of the ER drives retention—and revenue.

In our latest webinar, hear from insurers, innovators, legal experts, and operators how to successfully mitigate fall risk in your communities—and what the costs are for inaction in fall prevention. They agree on 4 crucial steps to reduce fall risk and potential claims. Is your organization implementing them?
