Tenera Care and Dublin Glenn Awarded for Innovative Memory Care Solutions in 2026
Tenera Care and Dublin Glenn Memory Care Triumph at McKnight's Technology Awards
In a landmark achievement, Tenera Care and Dublin Glenn Memory Care have been honored as Gold winners in the Keep It Super Simple (KISS) category of the 2026 McKnight's Technology Awards. This distinguished recognition highlights their effective use of technology in enhancing care quality for seniors, showcasing innovation that is both impactful and straightforward in application.
The McKnight's Excellence in Technology Awards, now in its 16th year, aim to applaud aging services providers and their technology partners. They recognize initiatives that leverage technology to better care and streamline operational processes. Within this competitive arena, the KISS category specifically celebrates those strategies where simplicity leads to significant improvements in services.
The accolade awarded to Dublin Glenn is largely attributed to their implementation of Tenera Care's real-time location intelligence platform. This cutting-edge technology has granted care teams enhanced visibility into residents' movements and routines, allowing for earlier detection of health-related issues without complicating workflows for staff.
In the initial six months after deployment, Dublin Glenn recorded a remarkable 50% reduction in overnight falls among residents. This achievement underscores the platform's effectiveness, as it provides caregivers with timely insights about resident activities, enabling prompt responses when assistance is necessary. Moreover, this innovation has broader implications beyond fall prevention. Tenera Care’s system diligently monitors various parameters such as activity levels, mobility, and social interaction. This data equips Dublin Glenn's clinical team with the capability to identify potentially critical health deviations sooner.
For instance, a notable change in a resident's daily activity prompted the clinical team to investigate further, which led to the early detection of a serious health concern. Thanks to swift intervention, the resident was able to resume normal activities within just 48 hours.
Kelly Lambert, Executive Director of Dublin Glenn Memory Care, emphasized the importance of personalized care in their operations.
