PointClickCare Enhances the Senior Living Resident Experience with Senior Sign
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PointClickCare, a leading health tech company helping providers deliver exceptional care, announced today that it will showcase the latest product in its senior living lineup, Senior Sign, at Argentum Senior Living Executive Conference May 19-21 in Tampa, Florida. Built specifically for senior living, PointClickCare chose to partner with Senior Sign to eliminate manual move-in paperwork, creating a modern, welcoming experience for new residents and their families. It also helps staff maintain compliance and achieve up to a 60% reduction in administrative tasks, giving them more time to engage with residents and focus on their overall experience. The senior living industry is at a crossroads: 87% of communities report challenges in hiring staff to provide care and services and nearly half of assisted living residents experience hospitalization during their first year of stay. Resident and family expectations are rising at a time when staff are overburdened. Through integrated partner solutions like Senior Sign, PointClickCare is helping to remove inefficiencies, allowing staff to spend less time on paperwork and instead focus on providing new residents a more meaningful, personalized wellness journey. 'We recently worked with Senior Housing News to survey dozens of senior living organizations, and the results were clear: they are looking to technology to help improve resident satisfaction and boost revenue growth,' said Kristy Yoskey, Vice President, Market Leader of Senior Living at PointClickCare. 'But existing gaps in care coordination make it challenging to achieve these goals, especially as resident expectations and care needs evolve. Operators are committed to delivering the highest possible level of wellness for their residents, and we believe paperwork shouldn't stand in the way of someone moving into their new home. Senior Sign is designed to remove that barrier and streamline the move-in process. We look forward to connecting with the industry's brightest minds at Argentum and working together to shape a healthier future for our communities, providers, and the residents they serve.' 'As Senior Sign's biggest fan and a long-time PointClickCare customer, I could not be more excited about this growing partnership,' said Thomas Cloutier, Chief Marketing Officer, Arete Living. 'The more streamlined our processes are, the more time we can dedicate to delivering outstanding care, connection, and support. Our team loves Senior Sign because it empowers them to move past the paperwork quickly and focus on helping even more seniors and their families navigate their living options.' Argentum Senior Living Executive Conference brings together thousands of senior living professionals, operators, owners, executives, and community leaders for an elevated educational experience that recognizes the unique challenges facing senior living professionals today. As part of PointClickCare's presence at Argentum, attendees can join two sessions: ' Advancing Resident Wellness, Collaboratively,' on Monday, May 19, from 11:00-11:10 a.m. in Room 120. Led by Kristy Yoskey, Vice President, Market Leader of Senior Living at PointClickCare, the session will highlight the importance of collaboration across home health, therapy, and community partners to create communities where residents can thrive. ' Extending Resident Length of Stay Through Real-Time Service Coordination in Senior Living,' on Wednesday, May 21 from 10:45-11:30 a.m. in Room 120. This session will be led by Murry Mercier, Director of Senior Living Solution Consulting at PointClickCare, alongside Derek Harris, Managing Director of Wellness Integration, Arrow Senior Living; Joe Velderman, Vice President of Innovation, Cypress Living; and Josh Stevens, Founder and CEO of EmpowerMe Wellness. This panel will delve deeper into measurable outcomes senior living operators are finding by advancing care coordination for residents with the help of PointClickCare and other partners.

Exclusive: TSOLife gets $43M for senior living software
TSOLife raised $43 million in Series B funds for home-grown senior living software, CEO David Sawyer tells Axios exclusively. Why it matters: The Tampa, Florida company says its offering can boost elderly care residents' quality of life while helping facilities save costs. Follow the money: PeakSpan Capital led the round, bringing TSOLife's total raise to $52 million to date. Sawyer declined to provide runway figures but says TSOLife has previously been profitable. How it works: TSOLife's platform — powered by an AI engine built using Python (aka not Open AI) — converts resident interviews into structured data, and creates recommendations to improve residents' morale. For example, its software might nudge staff to mention a resident's favorite sports team, connect residents over shared life experiences, or prompt drivers to play a resident's favorite music en route to appointments. AI scans qualitative resident interviews and tailors community activities, engagement, sales tools, and family communications at facilities including those with memory wards. Staff training takes roughly eight weeks, per Sawyer. The company charges a per-community-per-month subscription fee for its tools, which integrate with senior living EHRs such as PointClickCare. What's next: The company is releasing tools focused on staff retention in Q3. Between the lines: Sawyer says a two-and-a-half-year white paper across 20,000-plus residents found that TSOLife's tools extended residents' average stay by six weeks. "There was a direct correlation between quality of life and length of stay," says Sawyer, with more satisfied residents staying longer at a given facility. The figures could translate into revenue uplift for operators facing high turnover and acuity-driven churn. TSOLife does not monetize resident data for third-party use, says Sawyer. What they're saying: "This is not a tech-first team that's trying to shoehorn tech into a well-established industry. This is folks who came to appreciate the idiosyncrasies of the industry first," says PeakSpan's Justin Kelly. By the numbers: TSOLife is live in 1,300 operators across 47 states, per Sawyer, including Brookdale, Benchmark, Sagora, and Senior Resource Group. Its AI has been trained on over 100,000 hours of audio. The company also employs 28 human reviewers to continually train its AI and review it for accuracy. Reality check: While personalization is a rising priority, many communities still struggle to integrate new tech into daily workflows, and no peer-reviewed studies yet validate TSOLife's ROI claims. Bias in AI remains a core issue generally, but Sawyer says TSOLife's software is less susceptible to problems as a natively built tool: "We can take a much more concentrated approach to removing biases from what we recommend," he says. The bottom line: Being in a communal setting alone doesn't improve seniors' loneliness, says Sawyer — in fact, "that's when they can feel the most alone, surrounded by people they don't know."
