Family-owned Sarasota County community leverages VirtuSense technology to stop falls before they happen

SARASOTA, FL — June 23, 2026 — Suncoast Senior Living, a family-owned assisted living and memory care provider serving Sarasota County, is raising awareness of its AI-powered fall-prevention program, which uses VirtuSense's VSTAlert technology to protect residents in the memory care units at its three communities: Suncoast House, Suncoast East, and Suncoast Club at Prestancia.

Falls are one of the most common and serious risks facing seniors, and they're an even bigger challenge in memory care, where residents are mobile but may not recognize their own fall risk. Most fall-prevention strategies only respond after a fall has already happened. Suncoast takes a different approach.

VSTAlert uses LIDAR sensors paired with predictive AI to alert staff 30 to 65 seconds before a high-risk resident gets out of bed or a chair — giving the care team time to step in and stop a fall before it occurs. Because the system uses sensors instead of cameras, resident privacy is fully protected and the monitoring is always HIPAA compliant. Alerts go straight to staff mobile devices, so there are no loud alarms or flashing lights that can distress residents, and monitoring can be customized to each resident's individual routine and risk level.

The program reflects Suncoast's broader commitment to combining hands-on, non-corporate care with the best tools available — all under its all-inclusive pricing model and with Medicaid acceptance.
