Independent Living

Our goal at Healthsense for independent living is to prevent premature progression through the care continuum. In congregate independent living settings, resident’s typically use the following key Healthsense capabilities to maintain independence and improve quality of life:

• Wireless call
• Automatic call for assistance based on activity-monitoring
• Assistive prompting
• Cost-effective collection/reporting of key physiological measurements

These solutions can be seamlessly integrated as part of a Healthsense Integrated Solution, resulting in improved quality of care, increased staff efficiency, and reduced cost of care by enabling older adults to remain more independent.

In an independent research study, residents perceived the greatest advantages of the Healthsense eNeighbor® system to be 1) getting help quickly if they fall or become ill, and 2) allowing them to live independently longer.

Key findings of the independent research included:

Because the 24-hour monitoring system helps us understand the living patterns of our residents, we are able to better utilize our staff and prevent undesirable events such as falls or hospitalizations. -- Kim Brooks, New Courtland Elder Services
