Discover the remarkable ways Ativo Senior Living is redefining aging

In an era where technology seamlessly integrates into every aspect of our lives, why shouldn’t it routinely be used to improve senior living as well? New to serving the Albuquerque community this year, Ativo Senior Living has asked and answered that question, pioneering a new standard in senior care that blends innovation and compassionate support in an environment that feels like home.

As a result, residents at the West Side center, located at 4500 Quaker Heights Place, enjoy an exceptional living experience and premier health care, while families gain continuous connection with their loved ones and unparalleled peace of mind.

Unveiling the future of senior safety and well-being

At the heart of Ativo's tech-centric approach is the center’s Care Concierge, a first-of-its-kind system that provides a real-time view of residents' wellness. This advanced technology goes beyond traditional care. It provides key health and behavioral data that allows the care team to not only provide personalized support for existing health needs, including improved response times, but also to be proactive, anticipating health concerns and predicting outcomes.

For example, technology enables fall detection in resident rooms, ensuring an immediate response and enhanced safety. Smart scales use bioelectrical impedance analysis technology that measures body weight and provides detailed body composition data, such as body fat percentage, muscle mass, bone mass and water content. Patients can opt for sleep monitoring to ensure they are getting a full night’s rest, while also enabling care teams to conduct real-time tracking of sleep patterns and vitals, and instantly identifying disruptions or respiratory issues.

By capturing and analyzing data, staff can proactively address risks and personalize interventions. The Ativo Care Concierge system gathers thousands of data points per resident each month, driving advancements in senior care, optimizing operational efficiency, and enhancing family engagement.

Families are an integral part of the Ativo community, so transparent communication is vital. A Resident Portal that serves as an information hub enables families to stay in the know about loved ones’ health and well-being.

“It makes it easy for family members to check in on how Mom or Dad are doing with nutrition - what did they eat today, and did they go to the meal? Did Mom or Dad attend activities? Which ones?” said Matt Hoskin, COO of Insight Living, the senior living management provider for Ativo. “They don't have to try to call somebody or have somebody then return their call. They can find that stuff out in real time.”

Beyond technology: A vibrant community and personalized support

While technology is a cornerstone of Ativo's model, it's meticulously blended with one-on-one care and a vibrant community spirit. Medical research has repeatedly shown that socialization and physical activity improve health outcomes. At Ativo, residents enjoy a rich calendar of events, including field trips, happy hours, live music, and dancing, fostering a sense of joy and belonging.

Ativo offers a comprehensive range of living options, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care, all supported by its advanced technological framework. From Day One, a holistic profile of each resident is built, encompassing meal preferences, activity levels, and individual needs, ensuring a truly personalized support system. Residents can even opt into tests for food sensitivities/allergies, giving their care team deeper insights into their unique needs.

“Ativo Senior Living of Albuquerque was built on the belief that no two residents are the same — and their care shouldn’t be either,” Hoskin said. “Too often, senior living has followed a one-size-fits-all model.”
