Proactive Care in Action: What Our Pilot with Sagora Senior Living Is Showing Us
When we talk about moving care from reactive to proactive, we're talking about something concrete: a fall that doesn't happen. A hospitalization avoided. A family member who sleeps better at night knowing their loved one is safe.
Our partnership with Sagora Senior Living is putting that vision into practice. Since January 2026, Teton has been live at two Texas communities: Bristol Park at Cleburne Assisted Living and Memory Care, and Briarview Senior Living in Carrollton.
The early results are significant.
What the Data Is Telling Us
At Bristol Park, where the platform was initially adopted, the first month of data showed a 74% reduction in monthly fall incidents and a 95% improvement in response time when incidents did occur. In one resident case, PRN sleep medication usage dropped by 83%, from nine administrations per week to just 1.5.
These aren't abstract numbers. A 74% reduction in falls means fewer fractures, fewer emergency room visits, fewer families receiving devastating phone calls. It means care teams spending less time in crisis response and more time with residents.
At Briarview, similar patterns are emerging following alert personalization in January, with response times improving and fall incidents declining.
How It Works, and Why Privacy Comes First
Teton's platform uses ambient monitoring that analyzes activity patterns in resident’s rooms without relying on personal identifiers or storing any footage. Data is processed locally; images are deleted immediately after analysis. Care teams receive only encrypted behavioral insights on their devices.
This approach resonates with operators like Sagora. "We're always looking at technology that makes care better without making it more complicated," said Chandon Sanders, Corporate Director of Marketing at Sagora. "The data they're showing from other countries is compelling: fewer falls, better sleep, and team members who stay longer."
Changing How Care Teams Operate Day to Day
Beyond the headline metrics, care staff at Bristol Park describe a shift in how they work. Family conversations are now grounded in objective data. Team coordination during incidents has improved. And prospective residents on sales tours are citing the technology as a deciding factor in choosing the community.
"We're seeing real quality-of-life changes. It's not just fall prevention," said Michelle Cortez, Senior Resident Services Director at Bristol Park. "These tools allow our care team members to focus on spending quality time with our residents."
The platform also supports automated care documentation, helping ensure that associate staffing levels keep pace with residents' evolving acuity.
What This Means for Our Work in the U.S.
The Sagora pilot represents a meaningful milestone in Teton's growth across the United States. We've seen these outcomes in care settings across Europe, and it's validating to watch the same patterns emerge here.
"Our pilot results with Sagora validate what we've seen in other markets: when care teams have real-time insights into resident patterns, they can prevent incidents before they happen," said Mikkel Wad Thorsen, Teton CEO. "This is what proactive care looks like in practice."
We're excited to keep building with Sagora and the teams at Bristol Park and Briarview, and to share more as the data continues to develop.
