Aquinas Senior Living Scales Teton AI Monitoring Platform Across Pennsylvania Portfolio, Achieves 99.8% Resident Adoption

Aquinas Senior Living, Inc. (ASL) has expanded its use of Teton's AI-powered monitoring platform across its Pennsylvania portfolio, achieving a 99.8% resident and family adoption rate across its Wynwood House communities. Following a successful deployment at Heritage Springs Memory Care in Montoursville in November 2025, ASL activated the system at Wynwood House State College on April 1, 2026, and at Wynwood House Nittany Valley in Centre County on April 8, 2026. Only one family across the entire rollout opted out.

Teton's technology uses passive optical sensors installed in resident rooms that require no wearables or manual calibration. The system processes movement data locally, capturing no video or audio, and provides care teams with safety signals and anonymized clips when needed. The platform is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 certified. Teton's analysis of more than 2,000 falls across four countries found that measurable signals, including night-time movement patterns and sleep disruption, can precede falls by hours or days, enabling early intervention.

As part of the expansion, one of ASL's Pennsylvania facilities is serving as the Beta test site for Teton's integrated E-call resident call system. This system combines traditional resident assistance requests with fall detection into a single dashboard, reducing alarm fatigue and allowing staff to prioritize critical needs in real time. “By integrating Teton’s computer-vision AI with our new E-call resident response system, we are moving away from disparate ‘point solutions’ toward a truly unified ecosystem,” said Jim Burnham, Chief Operating Officer of Aquinas Senior Living.

The rollout schedule includes: November 2025 at Heritage Springs (Montoursville) with 100% adoption; April 1, 2026 at Wynwood House (State College); April 8, 2026 at Wynwood House (Nittany Valley); and May 2026 at the Lewisburg community. “What we saw in Montoursville was the proof of concept; what we are seeing today in State College and Centre County is proof of scale with near universal adoption,” said Stephen J. Schmid, President and CEO of Aquinas Senior Living. “Our residents and their families aren’t just accepting this technology - they are embracing it.”

Katie Grant, President of Teton U.S., emphasized the impact: “The reality of moving care from reactive to proactive is that it goes beyond operational gains, it changes the quality of life for residents. A fall that doesn’t happen, a hospitalization avoided, a family member who sleeps better at night knowing their loved one is safe.” The technology integrates into existing clinical workflows, allowing care teams to act on insights without additional administrative burden.
