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

AQUINAS SENIOR LIVING, a tech-enabled senior care provider, announced the expansion of its integrated resident safety ecosystem powered by Teton across its Pennsylvania portfolio, achieving 99.8% resident and family adoption. Following a benchmark deployment at Heritage Springs Memory Care in Montoursville, the system was activated at Wynwood House in State College on April 1, 2026, and at Wynwood House Nittany Valley in Centre County on April 8, 2026. Across these communities, only one family opted out.

Teton’s AI technology uses passive optical sensors installed in resident rooms, requiring no wearables or interaction. The system monitors movement patterns and detects changes in health early, allowing care teams to intervene before incidents occur. Privacy is prioritized: no video is streamed live, no audio is captured, and data is processed locally. The platform is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 certified. Teton’s own research, analyzing more than 2,000 falls across four countries, found that signals like night-time movement patterns and sleep disruption precede falls by hours or days.

As part of this expansion, one Pennsylvania facility is serving as the beta test site for Teton’s integrated E-call resident call system. This technology unifies traditional assistance requests with fall detection into a single dashboard, reducing alarm fatigue and enabling staff to prioritize critical needs in real time.

“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.”

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

The rollout follows a timeline that began with Heritage Springs in November 2025 achieving 100% adoption, and continues with the Lewisburg community scheduled for May 2026. Katie Grant, President U.S. of Teton, noted, “The reality of moving care from reactive to proactive is that it goes beyond operational gains, it changes the quality of life for residents.”

This expansion underscores a shift toward proactive care in senior living, where AI monitoring can prevent falls and hospitalizations, offering peace of mind to families and improving resident well-being. More information is available at aquinasseniorliving.com and teton.ai.
