ONELIFE Senior Living has fully adopted SafelyYou’s senior living AI platform across all 13 communities before its pilot ended. The provider focuses on elevating resident care. Moreover, the move shows ONELIFE’s strong commitment to innovative solutions that improve safety and operational efficiency. The decision also highlights the growing importance of senior living AI in reducing fall-related risks.
AI Partnership Elevates Care Quality and Fall Detection
ONELIFE selected SafelyYou as its preferred AI partner to raise care standards and address critical fall challenges with SafelyYou Safety AI. According to SafelyYou data, 95 percent of falls go unwitnessed. Therefore, staff often follow “when in doubt, send them out” protocols, which can trigger unnecessary ER visits. However, only 3 percent of on-the-ground events need emergency care.
Certainty reduces send-outs and improves documentation, saving time and resources.
SafelyYou Safety AI provides a clear video of on-the-ground events. Thus, teams can see whether a resident experienced a true fall or intentionally self-lowered. In only 74 days across two communities, SafelyYou detected 174 intentional self-lowerings. As a result:
- Staff understood events clearly, reducing time spent on documentation.
- Families and providers avoided unnecessary ER visits, lowering potential costs.
- Residents’ needs became more visible, supporting more personalized care.
ONELIFE CEO Dan Williams stated,“From the start, SafelyYou has wowed us. Even at the implementation stage, we were thoroughly impressed. And now, with the early impact, the decision to add SafelyYou to every ONELIFE community was an easy one. Understanding these intentional self-lowerings and the frequency with which they occur makes a tremendous difference in the time staff spend documenting and our ability to provide the right care when an incident occurs.”
Rapid Response Times Demonstrate Life-Saving Potential
ONELIFE also reduced response times to under two minutes in pilot communities, compared to the typical 40-minute average. This improvement is critical because:
- Longer time on the ground increases risks from fall-related injuries and complications.
- Prolonged immobilization may even double the risk of death.
However, SafelyYou Safety AI detects on-the-ground events with over 99 percent accuracy. Additionally, staff receive immediate alerts, allowing faster intervention during critical moments.
Ongoing Expansion of AI-Driven Care Capabilities
The impressive early results motivated ONELIFE to expand SafelyYou services. Consequently, ONELIFE communities will now also use SafelyYou Staffing AI to:
- Measure care delivery accurately for improved staffing decisions.
- Identify changes in resident acuity earlier and adjust care plans quickly.
- Bill precisely for the actual care provided.
These expanded senior living AI capabilities enhance care quality, operational performance, clinical outcomes, and financial impact across all ONELIFE communities.
SafelyYou founder and CEO George Netscher said, “We’re so incredibly excited to support all ONELIFE communities. Immediate impact like we’ve seen here really is game-changing for organizations. We’re saving time for staff, saving costs for families and communities, and above all, empowering care that better meets residents’ needs. As we expand our services, that will only grow. And we look forward to driving even greater results.”
