Passive Protection
24/7 Built-In Protection
Viconic Fall Defense works continuously beneath your flooring to reduce the severity of injuries when falls occur. This passive, always-on layer enhances safety without alarms, monitors, wearable devices, or added steps for staff—delivering protection that’s in place the moment residents move through a space.
Key advantages:
- Provides continuous protection without staff activation or monitoring
- Works automatically in resident rooms, bathrooms, corridors, dining areas, and common spaces
- Reduces severity of fall-related injuries even when risks cannot be anticipated
- Preserves a calm, natural environment without alarms or intrusive devices
Together, these advantages provide a powerful layer of safety that works quietly, consistently, and without disruption.
“Viconic doesn’t depend on staff intervention. It’s passive, automatic protection that’s already in place before anything ever goes wrong. ”
— Bress Nicneven, Account Manager, CFS
Reliable Protection Without Added Work
Fall-prevention technologies often require staff training, daily activation, or resident cooperation. Viconic Fall Defense eliminates those complications by delivering protection that never needs to be turned on, charged, or managed. It supports clinical teams by reducing fall-related harm while requiring no additional tasks.
"When the data proves it works, there’s no price that isn’t worth paying. You can’t put a value on safety."
“We can use it anywhere in the plan. It fits the design intent without compromise—and that makes it an easy sell to leadership because the ROI is built in.”
"The ROI will pay for itself in a matter of a year, two tops … the cost of one fall is somewhere between $4,000 and $7,00—conservatively."
"The long-term cost will be repaid fairly quickly—even after a first fall of a resident, that product will have paid for itself."
"The cost of NOT doing something like this is usually four times higher. The longer a building is occupied, the more accidents—and costs—you incur."
"We’ve seen a dramatic difference. In rooms with Viconic, we had zero severe injuries and zero ER visits. The impact of a fall affects a resident’s wellbeing, staff time, family involvement, even end-of-life decisions. Anything we can do to reduce injury helps everyone."
Maintains a Calm, Dignified Environment
Residents shouldn’t be surrounded by alarms, wearable sensors, or intrusive equipment. Viconic provides meaningful protection while preserving the look, feel, and privacy of the environment. It supports autonomy and person-centered care by keeping the focus on residents—not on monitoring devices.
Effective Even When Falls Are Unpredictable
Many falls happen when staff aren’t present—quick movements, transfers, nighttime trips to the bathroom. Viconic’s passive floor layer reduces injury severity even when the fall can’t be prevented. It’s a dependable safeguard throughout senior care communities.
