SafelyYou Clarity™ is an industry first, empowering communities to align labor to care plans and better meet residents’ needs
On average, 20% of falls for those 65 and older result in an ER visit, compared to New Perspective’s Remarkable 2.8% with SafelyYou
Reduced ER send outs resulting from falls prevent additional stress for residents and families and eliminate accruing costs for families and communities
New Perspective Senior Living, a leading senior living provider dedicated to helping 10,000 seniors live with purpose by 2025, announced their decision to expand SafelyYou, the leader in empowering safer, more person-centered care across senior living through world-leading AI, industry-changing sensors, and remote expert clinicians.
New Perspective selected SafelyYou as a fall detection and prevention solution because they view innovation as core to their success, and wanted to partner with the leading fall technology company to address the critical issue of resident falls in senior living. They expanded based on the success they saw with the company, combined with the introduction of SafelyYou’s industry-changing innovation, SafelyYou Clarity™. Clarity enables operators to align labor to care plans, better meeting residents’ needs and making the most of staffing resources.
Fall-related ER visits reduced to an amazing 2.8%
95% of falls go unwitnessed, which makes it difficult to determine their severity. For senior living communities, this means erring on the side of caution and leveraging emergency services. This can result in unnecessary trips to the ER—with unnecessary expenses for families and operators. With SafelyYou Respond™, communities have video of each on-the-ground incident, enabling on-site staff to assess each fall’s severity and get residents the right care, right away. SafelyYou means unnecessary ER visits are reduced—and communities can reduce fall-related ER send outs—like the astonishing 2.8% of ER visits resulting from falls at New Perspective communities.
“Being able to see and understand how falls occur and accurately assess them is critical to getting residents the care they need,” said SafelyYou founder and CEO George Netscher. “SafelyYou not only means on-site staff are more efficient and effective in meeting residents’ needs, but it also means peace of mind for families knowing that mom or dad is getting the right care, plus less stress with not having that additional ER cost.”
Expanding with an industry game-changer
SafelyYou Clarity™ is next-gen AI that enables communities to align labor to care plans, making the most of resources and providing better-quality care as communities face staffing challenges. In a recent survey, 92% of operators said they were experiencing a staffing shortage. It also makes it possible for operators to measure when care is provided, every time—a first for the industry and a critical component for revenue optimization.
“We’ve been amazed by what we’ve seen with SafelyYou,” said Chris Hyatt, co-CEO of New Perspective. “We partnered with them because they’re a leader in AI, and they showed us why they outrank their competitors. We’re growing our partnership with Clarity, and we believe it will be a game-changer, driving operational efficiency, improved care quality, and staffing optimization.”
