The Malden Collective and Rose Villa Senior Living Pair Up to Launch the LiveWell® Tech Accelerator!
June 2024 Newsletter #43
Malden Collective CEO, Barbara Kohnen Adriance on this exciting announcement
Technology is vital to improving the health and well being of residents and staff in senior living facilities. But most leaders are too busy to sort through the many options now available, let alone figure out the ROI for each one.
Meanwhile technology entrepreneurs have products that improve quality of care, but they don’t know if they’ll work because they don’t have a window into the day to day lives of staff and residents. That’s why the Malden Collective set out to help providers find their tech. We created the LiveWell Tech Accelerator to give up and coming companies with proven technologies the opportunity to pilot them in senior living environments.
After a long search, we found our partner in Rose Villa Senior Living, a continuing care retirement community based outside Portland. Rose Villa is a national leader in innovation, environmental sustainability, and multi-generational community development through its greywater reclamation system, zero-energy neighborhoods, onsite preschool, and extensive partnerships with the local community.

The Malden Collective and Rose Villa are proud to announce that WalkWise is the first company to take up residence in the LiveWell Tech Accelerator. WalkWise reduces falls by providing actionable data on changes in gait and mobility, using a simple device that attaches to user’s mobility devices. We are thrilled by this new opportunity!
WE'VE LAUNCHED A NEW WEBSITE
It’s brand new. It’s always improving! Check it out here.
ALSO, TRY OUR NEW SCORECARD!
We also launched the Quality Care Assessment. It’s a free scorecard that lets you know where your community currently stands on the four dimensions of quality culture: person-directed care, improvement culture, teamwork & communication, and attention to efficiency and organization. It’s based on research. Check it out!
Why Embrace LiveWell?
Staff are exhausted, overwhelmed and burned out. And when they leave the industry it’s often for good.
Lack of staff continuity increases the risk for falls, med errors, on the job injuries — and even litigation. We’ve documented the high cost of not developing a culture of improvement. And we know that financial pressures faced by owners are real.
The LiveWell Method reduces falls, med errors, and injury by giving teams the practices and tools they need to create a safe, high performing, positive workplace culture. Communities that have done LiveWell in the past have had excellent results. Email Barbara Kohnen Adriance for more information.
