Strengthening Senior Safety and Independence with Tango Belt Collaboration
Enhancing Safety and Independence for Seniors: The Tango Belt Initiative
In a remarkable collaboration aimed at empowering seniors, ActiveProtective, the innovative force behind the revolutionary Tango Belt, has teamed up with Plymouth Place, a notable retirement community in La Grange, Illinois. This strategic partnership is set to significantly increase the safety and mobility of older adults, allowing them greater independence in their daily lives.
The Tango Belt stands out as a cutting-edge, FDA-authorized medical device designed specifically to protect at-risk seniors from fall-related injuries, particularly hip fractures. This innovation employs sophisticated sensing technology that detects falls as they occur, deploying an airbag to cushion the hips and mitigate the impact injuries. With its user-friendly design meant for daily wear, the Tango Belt aims to provide seniors with peace of mind while enabling them to maintain their independence.
A Commitment to Safety
ActiveProtective's CEO, Wamis Singhatat, emphasized the synergy between the two organizations, asserting that both share a vision where innovation serves a purposeful role in enhancing safety and independence. He noted, “Plymouth Place shares our belief that innovation must be purposeful, and that safety and independence can go hand in hand.” This shared commitment is what drives them to introduce the Tango Belt across various community levels—initially within Independent Living and progressively through Assisted Living and Memory Care segments starting January.
Plymouth Place aims to assure its residents and their families of their dedication to safe living environments. With the introduction of this groundbreaking device, they are reinforcing their ongoing commitment to leveraging innovations that not only bolster resident mobility but also actively work to minimize the risk of fall-related injuries. Jay Biere, the CEO of Plymouth Place, remarked, “This collaboration underscores the community's commitment to proactive, resident-centered care.”
Educating Residents and Families
The implementation of the Tango Belt revolves around an educational rollout that seeks to inform residents and their families about how the device operates and its substantial benefits. Using the captivating theme, “Let's Tango through the New Year - New Protective Technology,” Plymouth Place intends to create awareness among its community members.
The introduction of the Tango Belt is part of a larger vision to redefine the convention of safety in senior living. ActiveProtective aims not only to prevent injuries but to change the overarching dialogue about aging gracefully. This partnership is more than a technological infusion; it represents a model for how senior living communities can lead on safety and innovation at a national level.
A New Standard for Aging in Place
The collaboration between ActiveProtective and Plymouth Place is not just about implementing a new product; it’s establishing a paradigm shift in how senior communities perceive mobility and safety. The Tango Belt is seen as not just a product, but a promise of a safer lifestyle, enhanced quality of life, and inspired living.
ActiveProtective is committed to improving mobility for seniors, while Plymouth Place is dedicated to creating an enriching environment for their residents. Together, they aspire to set a new standard for senior living communities across the country—one that prioritizes safety, fosters innovative thinking, and uplifts the independence of older adults.
As the early adopters of the Tango Belt, Plymouth Place aims to showcase the effectiveness and significance of this technological advancement. Residents and their families can look forward to a future where the fear of falls diminishes and the freedom to enjoy life fully becomes the norm, all powered by the intelligent technology of the Tango Belt.
