Aquinas Senior Living, Inc. (ASL) has expanded its use of Teton's proactive care platform across multiple Pennsylvania communities, achieving a 99.8% resident and family adoption rate. Following a successful deployment at Heritage Springs Memory Care in Montoursville, ASL activated the system at Wynwood House State College on April 1, 2026, and at Wynwood House Nittany Valley in Centre County on April 8, 2026. Across these sites, only one family opted out of the monitoring system.
Teton's technology uses passive optical sensors installed in resident rooms to monitor movement without cameras or audio recording, processing data locally to ensure privacy. The system is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 certified. Care teams receive safety alerts and anonymized clips when needed, but no live video feed. The platform is designed to detect early signs of health changes, such as altered movement patterns or sleep disruption, which can precede falls by hours or days. This capability is grounded in Teton's research analyzing over 2,000 falls across four countries.
As part of the expansion, one Aquinas facility is serving as the beta test site for Teton's integrated E-call resident call system. This technology merges traditional assistance requests with fall detection into a single dashboard, reducing alarm fatigue and helping staff prioritize critical needs in real time. "By integrating Teton's computer-vision AI with our new E-call system, we are moving away from disparate point solutions toward a truly unified ecosystem," said Jim Burnham, Chief Operating Officer of Aquinas Senior Living.
The rollout follows a phased timeline: Heritage Springs achieved 100% adoption in November 2025, Wynwood House State College went live on April 1, 2026, and Wynwood House Nittany Valley followed on April 8, 2026. The platform is scheduled for deployment at the Lewisburg community in May 2026.
Stephen J. Schmid, President and CEO of Aquinas Senior Living, emphasized the significance of the adoption rates: "What we saw in Montoursville was the proof of concept; what we are seeing today in State College and Centre County is proof of scale with near universal adoption. Our residents and their families aren't just accepting this technology—they are embracing it."
Katie Grant, President of Teton U.S., highlighted the impact on quality of life: "The reality of moving care from reactive to proactive is that it goes beyond operational gains—it changes the quality of life for residents. A fall that doesn't happen, a hospitalization avoided, a family member who sleeps better at night knowing their loved one is safe."
The partnership underscores a growing trend in senior living toward integrated, AI-driven safety systems that prioritize proactive intervention and family peace of mind.
