Aquinas Senior Living, Inc. (ASL) announced the expansion of its integrated resident safety ecosystem powered by Teton's proactive care platform across its Pennsylvania portfolio, following a successful deployment at Heritage Springs Memory Care in Montoursville. The system has been launched at Wynwood House communities in State College and Centre County, achieving near-universal resident and family adoption of 99.8%, with only one family opting out across the entire rollout.
According to the announcement, Teton's AI technology provides four key functions: creating clarity across communities, detecting early changes in residents' health, alerting care staff to act early, and enabling more tailored person-to-person care. The system uses passive optical sensors installed in resident rooms with minimal footprint, requiring no resident interaction, wearables, manual calibration, or charging. Privacy is engineered into the system, with no live video streaming or audio capture, and movement data processed locally on-site. Care teams receive safety signals and brief anonymized clips when needed, not live video feeds. The platform is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 certified.
This approach is grounded in Teton's own research, which analyzed more than 2,000 falls across four countries and found that measurable signals, including night-time movement patterns, sleep disruption, and changes in respiration, consistently precede falls by hours or days. The technology integrates directly into clinical workflows, enabling care teams to act on insights within existing systems without added administrative burden.
As part of this expansion, one of Aquinas's Pennsylvania facilities is serving as the official Beta test site for the integrated E-call resident call system. This technology folds traditional resident assistance requests into the Teton.ai dashboard, unifying fall detection and manual assistance requests into a single interface to eliminate alarm fatigue and allow staff to prioritize critical needs in real time.
The rollout timeline includes November 2025 for Heritage Springs (100% adoption), April 1, 2026 for Wynwood House State College, April 8, 2026 for Wynwood House Nittany Valley, and May 2026 for the Lewisburg community. Stephen J. Schmid, President and CEO of Aquinas Senior Living, stated that the expansion demonstrates proof of scale with near universal adoption, with residents and families embracing the technology as the best path to ensure the highest standard of safety. Jim Burnham, Chief Operating Officer, noted that integrating Teton's AI with the new E-call system moves away from disparate point solutions toward a unified ecosystem. Katie Grant, President U.S. of Teton, emphasized that moving care from reactive to proactive changes quality of life for residents, with memory care being one of the most demanding environments where the right information at the right moment makes the greatest difference.
