Enhanced Communities

Healthsense technology solutions enhance senior living communities by lowering the cost of care, expanding services and improving the quality of care.

The most important focus for any senior living community is delivering a high quality of care that helps ensure that residents are safe, healthy and happy.  However, the reality is that delivering care is expensive, and caregivers do not have unlimited resources to accommodate the individual needs of a growing aging population.  Senior living communities need a cost effective solution that maximizes available resources to deliver a high quality of care.

How can Healthsense solutions benefit a community?

The first, and undoubtedly the most important aspect for caregivers, is the actual delivery of care to residents.  However, the business side of the operation greatly affects caregivers' ability to deliver quality care.  Healthsense technology solutions are able to strengthen a community by lowering operating costs and helping increase occupancy while still delivering quality care.

Lowering Operating Costs

Consider the following scenario: a senior living community needs an emergency call system, a remote monitoring system, staff communications (telephony) and wireless internet access for staff and residents. A solution that supports all of those applications on one network infrastructure significantly lowers the initial installation and annual maintenance costs. The Healthsense converged technology solution is exactly why some communities have been able to reach cost savings of 68% on their network infrastructure operating costs.

Healthsense Integrated Technology Platform

Healthsense's secure, industry standard Wi-Fi network supports many processes that are crucial to the operation of an efficient senior living community such as: electronic health records, medication management, staff communications (telephony) and internet connectivity for the entire community.

See our Total Life Cycle Costs white paper to learn more about how the Healthsense technology solution can benefit your community.

Increasing Occupancy

There are few factors that affect the profitability of a senior living community more directly than occupancy. A considerable amount of money is spent on understanding the market, designing the desired mix of living units and subsequently promoting the service packages.  Care providers are now differentiating themselves through the use of creative technology and service packages that reduce turnover, attract new customers and benefit the entire community.

Improving the Quality of Care

Healthsense's remote and vital sign monitoring technology gives care providers the ability to intelligently deliver care where and when it is needed. Implementing remote and vital sign technology in a community can change the way care is delivered. The Healthsense eNeighbor® remote monitoring system ensures resident safety 24/7/365 and is able to automatically send a call to staff when the system detects a possible situation.  This greatly improves the efficiency of caregivers; resources that were previously put towards ensuring safety can now be put towards improving the quality of life for residents.  This is a situation that is beneficial for the resident, the family and the caregiver.  Healthsense solutions are able to enhance the capabilities of caregivers and help them create care plans that meet the individual needs of each resident.

Expanding Services

Healthsense's aging services technology can also help senior living communities develop Home & Community Based Care outreach programs.  Many times, the senior living provider is already a recognized and trusted source for advice on aging, so this is a natural extension of services around the senior living campus.  This ability to expand care into the community builds a valuable relationship between the customer and the care provider.

Healthsense technology solutions enhance communities by aligning the interests of residents, caregivers and families.  The benefits of implementing aging services technology are seen in every aspect of the community.
