Product catalog summary
Introduction
Lifespace Communities, a non-profit senior living organization, is pioneering the use of technology to enhance resident well-being and care quality. They have implemented CLB's Acoustic Monitoring system at Abbey Delray to improve care outcomes.

Objectives and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
The primary goals for the installation of the Acoustic Monitoring system were:
  • Reduce falls by over 40%.
  • Decrease response times to under 5 minutes.
  • Cut unnecessary nighttime interactions by 50%.
Additional performance indicators included reductions in sleep medication use and challenging behaviors.

System Features and Benefits
CLB's Acoustic Monitoring system, developed over 30 years ago in Europe, provides continuous nighttime monitoring, alerting caregivers to concerning sounds. This proactive approach allows caregivers to respond promptly, reducing the need for periodic checks and enhancing resident privacy and sleep quality. Key benefits include:
  • Elimination of 'blind spot' time windows.
  • Direct and indirect fall prevention.
  • Improved response times and care efficiency.
  • Enhanced resident privacy and sleep quality.

Results and Achievements
The implementation of the system at Abbey Delray led to significant improvements:
  • Falls reduced by 61%, with 10.2 falls prevented per month.
  • Only 3 falls occurred in May.
  • Unnecessary nighttime interactions reduced by over 80%.
  • Average response times consistently under 5 minutes.
  • Only 1 fall resulted in a fracture, compared to an average of 6 previously.
The KPIs were successfully met, with additional benefits observed.

Testimonials
Positive feedback highlights the system's impact on resident safety and care quality. A notable incident involved a resident who fell without wearing a pendant; the system detected his cries, enabling a swift response and positive outcome.

Conclusion
The pilot of CLB's Acoustic Monitoring system at Abbey Delray demonstrated substantial reductions in falls and improvements in care delivery. Lifespace Communities plans to expand the system's implementation across more locations in Florida, recognizing its significant benefits to resident well-being.

Lifespace Communities are leading the way in technology for resident well being and care quality. CASE STUDY CLB Acoustic Monitoring - Abbey Delray Lifespace Communities is a non-profit forward thinking senior living organization. They pride themselves on staying ahead of market trends and are recognized for having the ability and attitude to pilot new innovations. Where others follow Lifespace leads the way. Lifespace installed CLB’s Acoustic Monitoring system, with the aim to hit the following KPI’s: CLB are the experts in Acoustic Monitoring, we invented/created the solution some 30+ years ago in Europe. Our award-winning innovation gives your residents the gift of sleep while proactively monitoring at nighttime. It provides a safety net to pick up on concerning sounds which alert care givers immediately. Care givers can provide care when and where it is needed, rather than rounding on residents. 1) Reduce falls over 40% 2) Reduce response times to under 5 minutes. 3) Reduce unnecessary nighttime interactions by 50% Other performance indicators were also under consideration around reduction in sleep medication and challenging behaviors. Our vision is to help transform your night-time care in order to improve your residents’ sleep, so they are well rested, which has been proven to have significant benefits to senior living residents, to include fall reductions. Benefits Prevent falls Faster response Direct fall prevention by acting swiftly when the system picks up people getting out of bed and indirect (during the day) because better nights provide better days. Instead of intermittent checks with blind spots of one or two hours, staff can now immediately respond to residents in need. Improved care Improved service users’ wellbeing ‘Blind spot’ time windows are eliminated as staff are immediately alerted to need for assistance making them less or not dependent on periodic checks. Continuous monitoring means staff only need to enter bedrooms when assistance is actually required. This gives the service users more privacy and is more conducive to an undisturbed night’s sleep. Improved practicality Organizational transparency Residents can just call out for assistance instead of pushing a nursecall button or pendant. Not reliant on residents always having the pendant on them or not knowing how to activate them. Generally new customers already know that their night care is not very transparent but only realize after the system has been installed how bad the situation sometimes can be.
