Improving Resident Safety with Helpany: A 65% Drop in Falls in Just One Month
New Tech, Safer Living: Helpany’s Impact on Resident Safety
Falls are more than accidents; they can significantly disrupt seniors' lives. As a nonprofit, faith-based senior living community, we’re always looking for ways to improve safety without sacrificing independence, and Helpany is helping us do just that.
The Helpany team shared this insight regarding the launch at The Oasis Assisted Living at Fellowship Square Surprise:
"Falls aren’t just medical incidents; they reveal a deeper systemic challenge, threatening resident independence, straining caregiver resources, and disrupting community stability. A single fall can trigger long-term health setbacks, emotional distress for families, and costly move-outs that impact everyone involved."
According to the CDC's Facts About Falls, "one out of 10 falls results in an injury that causes the older adult to restrict their activities for a day or more or to seek attention from the healthcare system. Each year, there are about 1 million fall-related hospitalizations among older adults."
These realities aren’t just statistics. Falls are a big problem, but with Helpany on board, we’re proving they don't have to be inevitable.
What is Helpany?
Meet the Tiny Device Making a Huge Difference.
Helpany’s AI care platform, nicknamed “Paul,” uses radar-based motion sensing technology to monitor changes in movement and condition. There are no cameras, microphones, or invasive devices, just 24/7 real-time insights delivered to our care team, so they can step in sooner, act smarter, and prevent emergencies before they happen.
The device is small, weighing just over 11 ounces, and measures 5.75"x5.12"x1.77" (LxWxH). One device is placed in whichever room the resident spends most of their daytime (their living room, for example), and one in the bedroom where they sleep.
Leveraging Helpany's technology is helping us set a new standard in senior care by more effectively preventing falls, protecting resident dignity, and shifting from reactive to truly proactive care.
Results Are In
The Impact of AI-Enhanced Care
Within the first month, falls dropped by a remarkable 65%, dramatically improving resident safety. At the same time, our care teams reclaimed 20% more time to focus on meaningful, resident-centered care, without adding staff. That extra capacity translated into more personalized attention, faster response times, and over $30,000 in added value for our residents.
As Rhonda Thiel, Vice President of Operations, shared, the impact of Helpany at The Oasis Assisted Living has been both immediate and deeply meaningful:
“At Fellowship Square Surprise, we’re committed to staying ahead of resident needs, not just reacting to them. Helpany’s AI-driven fall prevention system has helped us do exactly that. What’s most powerful is how seamlessly it fits into our care culture. Our team now has real-time insights that support earlier intervention, smarter triage, and more personalized care, all in a privacy-preserving manner, since no cameras are involved. I’m incredibly proud of our team and what they’ve achieved in such a short time.”
The Broader Impact
Preserving seniors’ independence, dignity, and peace of mind is integral to our culture of care. With Helpany quietly monitoring changes around the clock, residents feel more confident about moving through their day (and night). It’s a huge relief for families to know a smart safety net serves as backup support for their loved ones.
Even better? Our care teams can now respond faster and intervene earlier, sometimes before an incident even happens. Helpany helps us strike that balance between independence and security in a way that feels empowering, not intrusive. It’s about creating an environment where residents can thrive and live with purpose, with greater freedom and fewer disruptions.
