Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into assisted living and memory care communities in a variety of applications. One of the most exciting developments is how it’s helping detect falls and improve resident safety.

At Assisted Living Locators Los Angeles, concerns with falls, and how to prevent them, are among the most common issues we hear from families. Especially those caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, or mobility challenges.

Families often ask us: What happens if Mom falls in her bedroom? What if Dad forgets to press his emergency pendant?

The truth is, no community can prevent every fall. Even with attentive caregivers, a fall can happen in seconds. What matters is how quickly staff are alerted and how they respond.

Many communities use emergency pendants, bed alarms, floor sensors, and regular safety checks. These are all valuable tools, and now AI is adding another layer of support.

Here are a few local senior living communities bringing AI technology into their residents’ rooms.

The Vered, Encino & The Variel, Woodland Hills: AUGi AI Monitoring

The Vered in Encino and its sister community The Variel in Woodland Hills use AUGi by Inspiren, an AI-powered monitoring system that detects potential falls, monitors resident activity, and alerts caregivers when someone may need assistance.

Unlike traditional emergency pendants, residents don’t need to remember to press a button. The system can also help staff recognize changes in movement patterns.

Our Insider Tip
The Vered has AUGi installed throughout its memory care floor, but here’s something families may not know: Residents on assisted living floors 2, 3, and 4 can also request AUGi monitoring in their rooms.

This is worth exploring for residents with a history of falls or who may benefit from additional monitoring. Our team at Assisted Living Locators Los Angeles can help you learn more about this option, including availability and any additional costs, for families exploring senior living in Woodland Hills and the western San Fernando Valley.

Belmont Village Communities: SafelyYou AI Fall Detection

Several Belmont Village communities throughout Los Angeles, have adopted SafelyYou, an AI-powered fall detection system.

SafelyYou uses wall-mounted cameras to detect potential falls and alert caregivers. Staff can review footage of an incident to better understand what happened and identify ways to help prevent another fall.

For example, if a resident is found on the floor beside their bed, the care team can review what happened rather than having to guess. Did they hit their head? Do we need to call an ambulance? SafelyYou helps staff better understand what happened and may help avoid an unnecessary and disorienting ER visit when an emergency evaluation isn’t needed.

Another Insider Tip
SafelyYou is installed in Belmont Village’s memory care bedrooms, but assisted living residents can also request installation when the family and care team feel it’s appropriate.

This can be especially helpful for residents with mobility challenges or a history of falls who don’t require memory care. Our team can help you explore which Belmont Village locations offer this technology and whether it may be appropriate for your loved one.

Different Approaches to Fall Prevention

AI is an exciting addition to senior living, but it’s not the only effective way to manage fall risks. Many communities successfully use bed alarms, floor sensors, emergency call systems, regular safety checks, and personalized care plans.

What makes AI interesting is the additional information it can provide about falls and resident activity, helping caregivers better understand incidents and make adjustments to care.

Technology is another tool to support caregivers, not replace the personal attention and hands-on care residents need.

The Future of Fall Prevention Is Already Here

It’s exciting to see local communities bringing AI technology into assisted living and memory care in LA.While no technology can eliminate falls, early detection and a better understanding of why falls happen can make a meaningful difference.

At Assisted Living Locators Los Angeles, we stay connected with local senior living communities to help families understand the differences in care, safety features, and services that may not always be obvious during a tour.

Whether you’re exploring assisted living, memory care, or a smaller residential board and care home, we’re here to help you find the right fit.
