Richmond, VA, April 26, 2011 – AT Home Care, Virginia’s largest independent home health care agency, is partnering with WellAWARE Systems to offer a monitoring system designed to help seniors live more independently in their own homes as well as in long-term care facilities throughout Virginia. This state of the art technology passively monitors key wellness indicators without the use of cameras, microphones, or wearable devices to enhance patient health data.
WellAWARE will provide this new technology which is based around a wireless selection of “smart sensors” that are placed unobtrusively within a patient’s residence and provides 24/7 physiological data (i.e. sleep quality, bathroom visits and activity levels). The information gathered can alert caregivers to changes in living patterns that may indicate emerging health problems and provide the opportunity for early intervention. “AT Home Care is committed to providing high quality, personalized care. We are now able to combine our exceptional hands on care with WellAWARE’s technology to better serve our patients throughout Virginia,” said Curt Kassab, Executive Vice President of AT Home Care.
“We are excited to partner with the AT Home Care team as they continue to improve quality of care through innovative technology and personalized services while offering greater peace of mind for caregivers,” said Jeff Noce, CEO of WellAWARE Systems. “By working with innovative home health agencies like AT Home Care, we are continuing to create a new quality standard for people who need care.”
AT Home Care is based in Richmond, Virginia and has 10 branches throughout the state, offering a full spectrum of skilled health care including nursing and physical, occupational and speech therapists. It also provides private duty home health aides to assist its patients with activities of daily living. The agency was recently named as one of the Homecare Elite, a ranking of the top 25% of the home health agencies in the nation. For more information, please visit www.athomecare.com.
