Assisted living · night safety · response reliability

Every resident has a normal.
We notice when it changes.

Baseline is a passive monitoring system for assisted living communities. Discreet, camera free sensors learn each resident's normal routine and surface overnight changes for your team at shift change. Your nurses decide what it means. We make sure they see it.

Most overnight changes are found at the next round, not when they happen.

A fall is rarely the first event. Behind many of them is a week of fragmented sleep, a change in nighttime activity, or a resident spending more time in their room than usual. Your staff cannot watch every room every night. Your building can.

The three signals

Three overnight signals, measured against each resident's own baseline.

Every alert is measured against that resident's own baseline. We don't compare Mrs. Jones to an average. We compare her to her.

Signal 01 · Nighttime activity

Bathroom Activity

A sudden rise in nighttime bathroom trips is a well documented early change in older adults. The system measures frequency against each resident's own 14 day baseline and flags the deviation for your clinical team.

"Room 114: bathroom activity 5 visits overnight. Baseline 1.5. Flagged for wellness review."

Your nurse sees the change on the morning report instead of finding it three days later.

Signal 02 · Sleep and restlessness

Overnight Restlessness

Fragmented nights change how a resident moves the next morning. The system tracks overnight motion volume and timing against each resident's own baseline.

"Room 108: overnight motion 60% above 14 day baseline, 2 to 4 AM window. Flagged for morning huddle."

Your morning shift starts the day knowing whose night was unusual.

Signal 03 · Room activity

Extended Time in Room

When a resident stops leaving their room, that is worth a look. The threshold is set per resident, so a naturally private resident is not flagged for being themselves.

"Room 121: no room exit detected in 26 hours. Flagged for staff visit."

No resident quietly disappears.

Baseline reports what the sensors observe. Your clinical team decides what it means and what to do. The system does not diagnose, assess, or direct care.

How it works

Passive monitoring that learns what normal looks like.

Discreet motion and door sensors, a nightly comparison against each resident's own baseline, and one short report at shift change.

Days 1 to 30

Build the baseline

Sensors quietly learn each resident's rhythms: sleep, bathroom frequency, and daily activity. No cameras. No wearables. Nothing to charge, wear, or remember.

Every night

Watch for change

Each morning, the system compares last night to that resident's own recent baseline. Never a generic standard, and never another resident.

6 AM, every morning

The Morning Huddle Report

Staff don't get a wall of data. They get a short list: the residents whose patterns changed overnight, what changed, and what to look at. Two minutes at shift change.

Every week

We tune it with your team

A 30 minute call each week. Your staff tell us which alerts were useful and which were noise, and we adjust the thresholds. Alert fatigue is what kills systems like this. We treat it as the main problem, not an afterthought.

Privacy and trust

Resident monitoring that respects the resident.

Families want reassurance, not surveillance. So do surveyors.

No cameras. No microphones. No wearables.

Our sensors detect motion and door state, nothing else. There is no image or audio to record.

Dignity by design

Residents live normally. Families get peace of mind without their parent being watched.

Secure by default

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with access limited to authorized facility staff.

Built for your compliance review

Rooms are identified by Room ID. We execute a Business Associate Agreement where required, and we supply the resident and family notification template plus a staff FAQ before install. Your IT and compliance teams get what they need on day one.

The operations case

Executive Directors don't buy sensors.

They buy faster overnight response, complete incident documentation, and fewer conversations that begin with "we're not sure exactly when it happened."

  • Response time. Every flagged event is timestamped from detection to staff acknowledgement. You will know your median, and you will watch it move.
  • Documentation. When something does happen, the timeline is already built. No reconstructing an overnight sequence from memory for a family meeting or a surveyor.
  • Targeted rounds. Night checks prioritized by what actually changed, instead of waking every resident on a fixed schedule.
"We stopped guessing what happened overnight."What we want your Director of Nursing saying in 90 days

The pilot

Prove it in one wing in 90 days.

Weeks 1 to 4

Install and baseline

Sensors go into one wing of 15 to 30 rooms. The system learns each resident's rhythms while running silent. Zero staff workload.

Weeks 5 to 8

Alerts go live, one at a time

Your morning huddle gets its first report. We tune thresholds with your team every week.

Weeks 9 to 12

Review together

Your measured response times, documentation completeness, and staff feedback. Then a wing by wing expansion plan at locked pricing. The decision is yours.

There is a Day 30 go/no-go. If we cannot show stable signal and a workflow your staff will actually use, you stop with no further obligation, keep every report, and we remove the hardware at our cost.

Request a pilot conversation

Tell us about your community. We reply within two business days.

No obligation, and no long term contract to start a pilot.

Questions Directors ask

Frequently asked

Do residents have to wear anything?

No. Sensors mount in the room. There is nothing to wear, charge, or remember.

Does the monitoring system record residents?

No. The sensors detect motion and whether a door is open. That is the entire data stream. There is no video or audio.

What does my staff have to learn?

One report, read at the morning huddle. If your team can read a short list, they can use this.

What if a resident's routine is just different?

That's the point. Every alert is measured against that resident's own baseline, not a generic standard. Unusual for one resident is normal for another, and the system knows the difference.

How is this different from a nurse call system?

Nurse call tells you a resident pressed a button. Baseline tells you which residents' overnight patterns changed before anyone pressed anything. The two work together, and we do not replace or integrate with your nurse call.

Will this create more alarms?

The opposite is the goal. The system runs silent for the first four weeks while it learns. Alerts turn on one type at a time, and we tune them down with your staff every week. If it is noisy, it has failed.

What happens to the data?

Timestamped events only: motion detected, door opened. No video, no audio, no recordings exist. Rooms are identified by Room ID, and we execute a Business Associate Agreement where required.
