Senior living & memory care

Dignity-first safety, staff relief and a lower utility bill, in the same fixture.

ALLIE is camera-free fall detection and presence sensing for assisted living, memory care and independent living communities. mmWave radar in every room's light switch, outlet and vent, with acoustic sensing as an optional feature the community enables per deployment, detects a fall in seconds, flag night-time wandering, surface rising fall risk to care staff and set back energy in empty rooms, with no wearables and no cameras in private space.

Communities run on trust with families and on thin staffing at night. ALLIE puts fall prevention, detection and privacy-first awareness into fixtures the room already has, and pays part of its own way in energy.

The community's dilemma

Families want to know their parent is safe. Residents want to be left alone. Both are right.

Cameras solve the first at the expense of the second. Pendants ask the resident to do the work. ALLIE asks nothing of anyone: the room itself notices when something is wrong, and only then does anyone get involved.

Settings

Fall detection and presence sensing for every level of care.

Assisted living

Fall risk and detection in resident rooms and bathrooms, night-time path lighting, and energy setback when residents are at meals and activities.

Memory care

Exit-seeking and night wandering awareness without pendants residents cannot be relied on to wear; room-level location for every alert.

Independent living

A safety net that respects independence: no wearables, no cameras, nothing that changes how an apartment feels.

Skilled nursing & post-acute

Post-fall status and escalation timers that shorten time on the floor; occupancy insight for room and wing operations.

Outcomes

What changes for each person in the building.

Residents & families

  • Privacy in their own room and bathroom
  • Help arrives without having to call for it
  • Nothing to wear, charge or remember

Care staff

  • Know who is up and where at night
  • Alerts with room, severity and status, not just a buzzer
  • Risk trends that inform care plans

Operators

  • Fewer falls, faster response, documented timelines
  • Energy setback across rooms and common areas
  • One install, two budgets: safety and utilities

The mechanism, step by step, is on the fall prevention and detection page; the numbers behind it are in AI-powered emergency response.

Fall prevention earns the fixture a place in the room. Once it is there, it lowers the energy bill every hour of every day. Communities should not have to buy those separately.

Why one platform

Deployment

A swap, not a construction project.

ALLIE fixtures replace standard switches, outlets and vents in the same boxes and openings. Communities typically roll out wing by wing during normal maintenance windows, starting with the highest-risk rooms. Alerts are designed to work alongside the nurse-call, paging and mobile tools your staff already use.

Week 0

Floor-plan review, risk mapping and a coverage plan by room.

Install

Room-by-room fixture swaps; no cameras to mount, no hubs in resident rooms.

Tune

Baselines learned per room; escalation tiers and timers set with your nursing leadership.

Run

Alerts, night-shift visibility, risk trends and energy setback, with quarterly reviews.

Questions

Senior living operators ask.

How does fall detection for assisted living work without wearables?

ALLIE puts fall detection into the light switch, outlet and vent of every resident room and bathroom. 60 GHz mmWave radar, with optional acoustic sensing, recognizes a fall in seconds and alerts staff with the room, the severity and whether the resident got up. Nothing is worn, charged or remembered, which matters most in memory care.

Is ALLIE appropriate for memory care?

Yes. Residents with dementia cannot be relied on to wear a pendant, and cameras in private rooms are unacceptable to most families and regulated in many states. ALLIE covers the room and bathroom with no camera and nothing to wear, and it flags night-time wandering and exit-seeking before a resident reaches an exterior door.

What do care staff see?

Who is up and where at night, alerts with room, severity and status rather than a buzzer, and risk trends such as unsteady gait or more night-time bathroom trips that inform care plans. Alerts are designed to work alongside the nurse-call, paging and mobile tools staff already use.

Does it also reduce the community's energy bill?

Yes. The same fixtures know when a resident room, common area or dining room is empty and set back heating, cooling, lighting and plug loads, restoring comfort before people return. Safety earns the fixture its place in the room; energy is what it delivers every hour after that.

How disruptive is the installation for residents?

ALLIE fixtures replace standard switches, outlets and vents in the same boxes and openings. Communities typically roll out wing by wing during normal maintenance windows, starting with the highest-risk rooms, with no cameras to mount and no hubs in resident rooms.

Can senior living room monitoring work without cameras or wearables?

Yes. ALLIE provides senior living room monitoring without cameras by embedding 60 GHz mmWave radar into standard wall switches, outlets and vents, with acoustic event sensing as an optional feature the community enables per deployment. It monitors room occupancy, transfer stability, gait changes and fall incidents 100 percent passively. Residents have nothing to wear, remember or recharge, and staff receive alerts with exact room location and severity in seconds without intrusive video feeds.

How does assisted living fall prevention technology work before a fall happens?

Assisted living fall prevention technology uses continuous passive radar baselining to detect subtle drift in gait speed, hesitation during bed-to-chair transfers, and increased nighttime bathroom trips. ALLIE flags rising fall risk to clinical care teams days before an acute incident occurs, and automatically switches on low-level path lighting when high-risk residents get out of bed at night.

How does senior living energy management work alongside safety sensing?

Senior living energy management uses the same fixture-native mmWave sensors to automate heating, cooling, lighting and idle plug loads based on verified resident presence. When suites are empty during dining or activities, climate controls enter setback mode. This eliminates energy waste in empty rooms while guaranteeing that comfortable temperatures return the moment a resident walks back in.
