SafelyYou Partnership with Lifespark Improves Retention by a Staggering 238%, Increases Length of Stay by 131%

SafelyYou’s ambient care management platform helps solve senior living’s challenge of early move-outs, driving occupancy and revenue for operators

SafelyYou, the leader in empowering safer, more person-centered care across senior living through world-leading AI, industry-changing hardware, and remote expert clinicians, has seen significant results using SafelyYou Respond™ with Lifespark, a complete senior health provider.

Lifespark manages nearly 50 senior living communities in Minnesota and Wisconsin providing a unique, holistic approach to health. They partnered with SafelyYou to drive better outcomes for its memory care residents by integrating the technology within their services offerings.

“With SafelyYou Respond™, we’ve seen improved resident retention by 238% and increased length of stay by 131% over non-opted-in residents,” said Matt Kinne, Chief Operating Officer for Lifespark. “More than outcomes, SafelyYou has given us another layer of protection for our people and that’s what really matters—their safety and wellbeing and we are grateful for their partnership in this effort.”

Solving senior living’s challenge of early move-outs

According to EHR data provided by ALIS, approximately one-third of residents move out of senior living communities within the first 90 days. But Lifespark memory care residents using SafelyYou Respond™ showed better retention rates at 30, 60, and 90 days compared to residents not opted into the service. Retention for residents with SafelyYou was over two-thirds longer at 30 days, doubled at 60 days, and showed an astounding three-fold improvement at 90 days.

Lifespark residents with SafelyYou also had a longer median length of stay. It was an incredible 96 days longer.

Driving occupancy and revenue

When early move-outs threaten occupancy rates in senior living, SafelyYou helps solve this critical issue by dramatically improving retention and extending length of stay. As a result, operators can keep residents in their communities longer, saving significant costs on room turn and prospecting, and helping to retain revenue.

“We’re thrilled that we can drive these results for communities and help tackle the occupancy challenges that operators face,” said George Netscher, founder and CEO of SafelyYou. “We know that when residents stay safer, they stay in their communities longer. And now we’re seeing just how much longer and what an impact innovative care makes beyond clinical outcomes.”
