Five companies operating in the senior living sector are partnering to test a new model for resident-centered care that they hope provides a blueprint to move the industry beyond single-technology implementations to a more collaborative, collective, multi-partnered approach.
Denver-based Solera Senior Living is collaborating with Inspiren, an artificial intelligence ecosystem; physician services provider Senior Doc; therapy and rehabilitation provider EmpowerMe Wellness; and EHR software company ALIS on the Alliance for Connected Senior Care.
The alliance came together because the five organizations share a common goal of “breaking down data silos and improving outcomes through better coordination in senior living,” a spokesperson told McKnight’s Senior Living. The collaboration grew from a shared vision of connected, proactive care enabled by real-time data and cross-company communication.
The pilot, launched in July at Solera’s Lumina Las Vegas memory care community, is showing early results compared with January-June baseline metrics: a 57% reduction in falls, 54% decline in emergency department visits, and a 44% decrease in hospitalizations.
As part of the model, care teams align workflows and hold weekly cross-company clinical calls to provide holistic, resident-centered care. According to the alliance, the test has demonstrated faster response times to incidents, smoother staff and clinician coordination, and stronger recovery and prevention protocols.
“We’re proving that senior living communities can evolve care models to drastically improve resident outcomes,” Solera founder and CEO Adam Kaplan said in a statement. “By working with our strategic partners, we’ve shown that resident-centered communication and AI-supported workflows can make a real difference.”
Each partner contributes a “distinct capability” to the project, according to the alliance, combining to create a connected model of care:
- Inspiren provides real-team behavioral alerts, falls detection and ongoing care utilization through AI.
- Senior Doc helps drive value-based care outcomes and quality metrics through tech-enabled care services and integration.
- EmpowerMe Wellness coordinates therapy planning, allowing care teams to individually tailor recovery and prevention plans for residents.
- ALIS’ eRH software provides data-sharing.
By integrating insights from Senior Doc and EmpowerMe, care teams can proactively adjust therapy and clinical plans, whereas AI-supported safety awareness from Inspren enables real-time interventions, according to the alliance. Secure data-sharing through ALIS, they said, helps ensure that all partners are aligned, creating more personalized and effective resident support.
“AI helps connect information for the care team,” Inspiren founder and Chief Clinical Officer Michael Wang said in a statement. “Sharing clinical insights and reviewing incidents together lets teams move from reactive responses to proactive prevention.”
The alliance plans to continue to refine the program while tracking performance metrics through the first quarter of 2026 to validate its effects and scalability. There are plans to expand the alliance across additional Solera communities based on early success.
While the pilot program was launched in a memory care community, the alliance said the model is designed to be replicable across senior living settings, including assisted living. The goal, a spokesperson said, is to establish a scalable, connected care blueprint for the entire senior living industry.
