Falls management for assisted living.
Reduce the fall burden on staff. Protect length of stay. Defend against liability. Objective screening in under five minutes.
The fall burden in assisted living
Assisted living staff are stretched. Acuity is rising. Falls generate incident reports, family complaints, regulatory scrutiny and, increasingly, litigation.
Paper-based screening tools add documentation time without improving outcomes. They are subjective, inconsistent across staff and difficult to defend in a liability context.
Able Assess replaces paper tools with four objective, validated metrics captured in under five minutes. CNAs and med techs can run the workflow. The data is standardized, timestamped and defensible.
How it works in assisted living
Screen at intake
Capture a baseline within 48 hours of move-in. Four validated metrics in a single five-minute session.
Stratify risk
Residents are banded by fall risk using normative data. High-risk residents are flagged for the DON and care team immediately.
Monitor quarterly
Repeat screenings track functional change over time. Declining scores trigger care plan updates before a fall occurs.
Report and defend
Standardized, timestamped records create a defensible audit trail for regulatory reviews and liability enquiries.
Four metrics that protect your community
Grip strength
Upper-body strength and frailty risk.
Sit-to-stand
Lower-limb power and transfer ability.
Gait speed
Walking speed over a short distance.
Timed Up and Go
Functional mobility and dynamic balance.
Model the impact of fewer falls
Falls in assisted living drive hospitalization, liability claims and early move-outs. See what a 25% reduction could mean for your community.
From the people using it
The data is timestamped and objective. When a family or attorney asks what we did to prevent a fall, we can show them exactly what we documented and when.
The time from incident to intervention dropped significantly. We are catching decline earlier and acting on it faster.
