Partnership Announcement: ActiveProtective and Montgomery Place
ActiveProtective®, the creator of the innovative Tango® Belt, has officially partnered with Montgomery Place, a notable senior living community in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. This collaboration underscores a mutual commitment to improving the quality of life for older adults by leveraging cutting-edge technology that prioritizes safety, mobility, and independence.
A Shared Objective for Safety and Independence
With the alarming statistics surrounding elderly falls, ActiveProtective's initiative is particularly crucial. Falls can result in significant injuries, especially hip fractures, which are common and often change lives dramatically. Wamis Singhatat, the CEO of ActiveProtective, expressed his enthusiasm about this partnership, stating, "We’re excited to collaborate with Montgomery Place in setting a new standard of care for protecting at-risk older adults from life-altering hip injuries. This partnership is a powerful step toward a world where aging is supported by technology that preserves independence and peace of mind."
The Tango Belt, an FDA-authorized medical device, stands out due to its advanced sensing technology that detects potential falls. When a fall is recognized, the device deploys airbags to protect the hips, significantly minimizing the risk of injuries. This innovative approach empowers seniors to maintain their independence while staying active and engaged in their daily lives.
Holistic Approach to Well-Being
Montgomery Place plans to educate its residents and their families about the Tango Belt through a structured rollout in their Independent and Assisted Living Communities. This initiative aligns perfectly with Montgomery Place’s holistic philosophy, which integrates mind, body, and spirit. As they introduce this groundbreaking technology, the emphasis will also be on the confidence and engagement it fosters among their residents, reflecting their core values of integrity, dignity, and caring.
Mark Mullahy, CEO of Montgomery Place, added, "One of the greatest strengths of Montgomery Place is our location. With the museum, the lakefront, and the vitality of Hyde Park just beyond our front door, residents are encouraged to remain engaged and active. Knowing that a product like the Tango Belt is available provides added confidence and peace of mind, allowing individuals to continue exploring and enjoying the beauty that surrounds them."
Positively Impacting the Future of Senior Living
The collaboration between ActiveProtective and Montgomery Place aims to set an example for how senior living communities can harness meaningful innovation in their daily operations. By reducing the likelihood of serious injury from falls, the Tango Belt not only ensures safety but also encourages an active lifestyle among older adults. This kind of forward-thinking strategy represents a significant step toward a future where safety and independence go hand in hand.
As this partnership cultivates a supportive environment for seniors, ActiveProtective and Montgomery Place hope to inspire other communities nationwide to adopt similar safety measures. Together, they are leading the charge towards a promising future where aging individuals can thrive in their respective environments, showcasing that it is indeed possible to combine modern technology with compassionate care.
