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

Aquinas Senior Living, Inc., a tech-enabled senior care provider, announced today the expansion of its resident safety ecosystem powered by Teton, a proactive care platform. Following a successful deployment at Heritage Springs Memory Care in Montoursville, the system has been launched at Wynwood House communities in State College and Centre County, achieving a 99.8% resident and family adoption rate across the rollout.

The Teton platform uses passive optical sensors installed in resident rooms, requiring no wearables or interaction from residents. The system processes movement data locally and does not stream live video or capture audio, ensuring privacy. It is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 certified. According to Teton’s research, analysis of more than 2,000 falls across four countries found that measurable signals such as nighttime movement patterns and changes in respiration can precede falls by hours or days, allowing care teams to intervene early.

The technology integrates into existing clinical workflows without adding administrative burden. Additionally, one of Aquinas’s Pennsylvania facilities is serving as the beta test site for Teton’s integrated E-call resident call system. This system combines fall detection and manual assistance requests into a single dashboard, aiming to eliminate alarm fatigue and help staff prioritize critical needs.

The rollout timeline includes: Heritage Springs in Montoursville achieving 100% adoption in November 2025, Wynwood House in State College going live on April 1, 2026, Wynwood House Nittany Valley in Centre County going live on April 8, 2026, and the Lewisburg community scheduled for May 2026.

“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. “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,” added Jim Burnham, Chief Operating Officer.

Katie Grant, President of Teton U.S., emphasized the impact: “The reality of moving care from reactive to proactive is that 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.”
