How Preventing One Fall Could Save Your Community $50K

Reducing One Fall Could Save You $50K. Let That Sink In.

In senior living communities, falls aren’t just accidents — they’re massive financial events.

A single fall can lead to hospitalizations, lawsuits, increased insurance premiums, and reputational damage. In fact, falls are the leading cause of liability claims in senior living. They’re costly, disruptive, and unfortunately, common — especially during overnight hours when staffing is lean and resident behaviors change.

That’s why EyeWatch LIVE® exists. And that’s why the financial case for investing in fall prevention has never been stronger.

The True Cost of a Fall

Preventing a single fall can have a major financial ripple effect.

Industry data shows that one serious fall can cost an insurance carrier upwards of $300,000 in claim expenses. For the community itself, the typical deductible hit is around $50,000 per incident — before you even account for potential premium hikes in subsequent years.

And that’s just the direct cost. Indirect costs include:

  • Increased scrutiny from state regulators

  • Damaged relationships with referral sources

  • Heightened family concerns, which can affect move-ins

  • Staff morale issues following critical incidents

One fall can destabilize more than just your balance sheet. It can shake the entire community.

How EyeWatch LIVE® Reduces Risk — and Costs

EyeWatch LIVE® combines advanced AI motion detection with live human monitoring to proactively intervene before incidents happen — especially overnight, when falls are most likely to occur.

By identifying risky behaviors early, such as residents getting out of bed unassisted, moving furniture, or wandering, EyeWatch LIVE® helps communities take action in real time. This not only protects residents but materially reduces the number and severity of falls.

Each fall prevented is real money saved — immediately and long-term.

Hidden Advantage: Insurance Loss Prevention

Here’s something many operators don’t realize:
Most insurance policies already include loss prevention services that can be used to fund technologies like EyeWatch LIVE®.

Insurance carriers have a vested interest in reducing falls. Some even offer premium credits or reimbursements for communities that implement proactive risk mitigation tools.

That means EyeWatch LIVE® may not only pay for itself through risk reduction — it might actually be covered, in part or in full, through your existing insurance structure.

Care That Protects Your Residents — and Your Business

Fall prevention is about more than reducing injuries. It’s about stabilizing your operations, controlling your insurance costs, protecting your margins, and giving families confidence in the quality of care you deliver.

One fall avoided could save you $50,000 or more.
One tool could shift your entire risk profile.
One decision could change everything.

With EyeWatch LIVE®, you’re not just preventing incidents.
You’re building a safer, stronger, and more financially sound community.
