Amsterdam, the Netherlands and New York, New York
– Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in
health technology, today announced its collaboration with Sunrise
Senior Living to bring state-of-the-art technology to benefit
seniors and their families at Welltower’s flagship senior living
community in New York City. Sunrise at East 56th is Manhattan’s
first of its kind assisted living and memory care community,
serving as a premier technology showcase for seniors, helping to
achieve wellness goals as well as supporting patients with mild
cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease and related forms of
memory loss.
As one of Welltower’s premier operating partners, Sunrise is a
leading senior living provider with more than 325 communities
throughout the U.S., Canada and the U.K., and total unit capacity
of approximately 29,300. The new community will leverage Philips
Cares for Senior Living to transform care delivery through
innovative technology including real-time resident locating, alerts
and communications when assistance is needed, as well as wellness
tracking. This alliance will enhance the experience of Sunrise at
East 56th’s residents to positively impact staff efficiency, and
provide residents’ families with deeper connections to their loved
one through digital technology.
Empowering Manhattan’s seniors and caregivers with
connected digital technologySeniors are increasingly
opting to spend their retirement years in urban environments, with
NYC’s population of residents ages 60 and older projected to grow
by 22 percent to 1.86 million by 2040 [1]. Those who live in the
city can benefit from proximity to family members, public
transportation, and elite healthcare providers – all of which can
minimize social isolation. Beyond being in a convenient location,
senior living operators need to modernize their infrastructure and
leverage technology solutions to enhance their operational
performance while keeping pace with a growing senior population
that needs support at each stage of the aging journey.
“At Philips, we’re committed to easing the senior’s aging
journey and the caregiver experience through digital innovation.
Philips’ next generation resident safety system allows senior
living facilities to stay ahead of the curve, to ensure both
resident and staff satisfaction, and support population health
management through connected solutions,” said Derek Ross, Business
Leader of Population Health Management at Philips. “We’re excited
to continue our collaboration with Sunrise and our partnership with
Welltower to help them serve the needs of Manhattan’s aging
population and their families and look forward to further
opportunities within the Sunrise portfolio of senior living
communities.”
The Philips Cares for Senior Living resident safety system will
give the staff at Sunrise at East 56th enhanced visibility into the
wellbeing of residents. The system combines wearable devices with
cloud-based capabilities including real-time resident locating with
personalized boundaries, alerts when assistance is needed,
mobile-enabled communications, and wellness tracking. Advanced
analytics provide actionable insights into resident activity,
including comprehensive incident and trend reports, with real-time
alerts delivered to mobile and desktop devices.
“Sunrise at East 56th is a one-of-a-kind urban community,
designed and operated to enhance its residents’ lives and health.
The Welltower platform continues to be a leader in integrating
leading technology, payor and operating partners to provide the
highest quality residential sites of care for our aging
population,” said Thomas J. DeRosa, Chairman and CEO of Welltower.
“We are proud to collaborate with innovative health technology
leaders like Philips who share our vision in the qualitative
strides that cutting-edge elder technology can add to the
well-being of an aging population.”
Enhancing the future of senior care through adaptable
innovationSunrise at East 56th is designed for seniors
looking for the very best in care and wellness in the Manhattan
neighborhood they call home. The community will provide
personalized assisted living as well as a secure, engaging
environment for seniors with memory loss, including Alzheimer’s
disease. The project was conceived and financed by Welltower and
developed by Texas-based Hines. The 130,000 square-foot Sunrise at
East 56th community is expected to open in the summer of 2020, with
approximately 150 units over 17 floors.
“At Sunrise, we’re committed to enhancing our residents’ quality
of life and seeking opportunities to innovate. We believe our
senior living communities should be as unique and savvy as the
residents we serve,” said Chris Winkle, CEO of Sunrise. “By teaming
with Philips, we will provide our seniors, particularly those with
cognitive and memory impairments, an individualized wellness
experience that advances their safety and happiness, and helps
provide added piece of mind for their caregivers. We look forward
to continued collaboration to explore future technologies to
support residents and their wellness.”
Adaptable and designed to be enhanced as technology evolves,
Philips’ resident safety platform helps position Sunrise for
long-term success in the market. Philips Cares for Senior Living is
part of the Philips Cares solution family, which together empower
at-risk seniors and their professional and family caregivers across
independent living and senior living communities to help make sure
the right care is being provided at the right time.
