**Improving Memory Care with AI-Driven Fall Detection**
In the changing realm of senior care, technology is essential in enhancing the devoted efforts of caregivers. This is especially relevant in memory care facilities, where dementia-related difficulties often impede communication. To tackle these challenges, Leisure Care’s Opal Memory Care® has partnered with SafelyYou, an industry leader in AI-driven fall detection, transforming the management and response to falls in memory care environments.
Falls pose a significant risk for seniors, especially those with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related ailments. A shocking statistic from SafelyYou reveals that 95% of falls in such settings go unseen, leaving families anxious and caregivers with little information to prevent future occurrences. The adoption of SafelyYou’s technology seeks to dismantle this cycle of doubt and distress.
**Cutting-Edge Fall Detection with Respect for Privacy**
SafelyYou utilizes AI-enhanced devices strategically installed within private memory care units to promptly detect falls. This technology immediately notifies caregiving teams, facilitating swift and informed actions. Crucially, the system ensures resident privacy:
– There is no live video surveillance or audio capture.
– Only relevant footage of a fall is retained, while all other recordings are erased within minutes.
– The program operates with full consent and is fully compliant with HIPAA regulations.
For families, this translates to increased peace of mind with:
– Prompt interventions when a fall occurs.
– Awareness of previously unnoticed incidents.
– Better-informed choices regarding emergency medical care.
– Enhanced care plans through ongoing learning about fall causes and prevention.
– Continuous oversight by a trained care team available 24/7.
– Support from SafelyYou’s clinical specialists to optimize care strategies.
