Maplewood Senior Living Announces Implementation of SafelyYou in Southport, Connecticut Community

Following the resounding success of the technology in other communities, Maplewood Senior Living expands their partnership with technology company

SOUTHPORT, Conn., Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Leading national senior living provider Maplewood Senior Living has announced an expansion of their partnership with AI-powered technology company SafelyYou into their Maplewood at Southport community. The launch of this revolutionary tech at Southport coincides with September’s National Fall Prevention Month, aimed to bring awareness to one of the leading causes of death among individuals 65 years of age and older.

SafelyYou, a San Francisco-based health technology company dedicated to improving care for residents with dementia, offers cutting-edge consent-activated cameras equipped with artificial intelligence that can accurately detect senior living resident falls. These cameras securely monitor residents’ activity in their apartments and promptly notify care staff in the event of a fall, ensuring immediate assistance for residents in need. Maplewood implemented this initiative with the aim of enhancing the quality of care and creating safer environments for residents, particularly those with memory impairments.

“We’ve seen incredible results since our first implementation of SafelyYou in three of our Ohio communities,” said Brian Geyser, Maplewood’s Vice President of Health & Wellness. “Resident well-being is an utmost priority at our Maplewood communities and expanding this already successful partnership ensures we’re keeping it as such.”

After its implementation in Maplewood’s Ohio communities in Chardon, Cuyahoga Falls and Twinsburg, data from the first six months reflected that 100% of resident falls that occurred were captured by the cameras and Maplewood staff achieved a median response time to resident falls of just 90 seconds compared to the industry study average of 40 minutes (NIH Clinical Validation Study, 2018).

“The overwhelmingly positive data gathered from the Ohio communities is precisely why we decided to expand the partnership to our Southport community.” said Tino Popescu, Vice President of Clinical Services, Maplewood Senior Living. “Bringing this revolutionary technology to Southport ensures we’re continuously providing our residents with the highest caliber of care.”

Additionally, Maplewood Senior Living announced the rollout of SafelyYou technology at its Inspīr Embassy Row senior living residence which is under development and scheduled to open in December 2024 in Washington, DC, with plans to expand to other communities in the near future.
