LAS CRUCES, NEW MEXICO / ACCESS Newswire / March 1, 2025 / As the market demands excellence in resident care, Addison Care is revolutionizing independent and assisted living with its AI-powered virtual care solution. Offering unmatched support, safety, retention, and profitability, Addison Care empowers senior living communities to improve resident outcomes while reducing operational risks at just $8 per day.
In a landscape where nearly all residents manage multiple chronic conditions and anywhere from 7 to 14 medications, treatment non-adherence accounts for 50% of health setbacks. Addison Care's 24/7 care management tackles this head-on, monitoring medication schedules and daily routines to extend functional lifespan and quality of life. 'Our goal is to help residents live longer, happier, and more comfortably,' says Erika Ruiz, COO at Electronic Caregiver, Inc., 'We're closing the backdoor of resident turnover-saving operators $12,000 to $15,000 per lost resident.'
Post-COVID-19, infectious disease remains a top concern, with influenza and other illnesses historically plaguing communal living. Addison Care's advanced monitoring identifies early signs of infection, enabling swift isolation to prevent outbreaks in dining rooms and common areas. This proactive approach protects communities and restores family confidence shaken by past pandemics. 'The senior living industry has a great responsibility to ensure their residents are safe, secure, and supported, especially with consideration to the high number of those living with multiple chronic illnesses, complex treatment regimens, and at higher risk of falls, accidents, and infectious disease exposure,' said Anthony Dohrmann, CEO of Electronic Caregiver, Inc., and inventor of Addison Care.
Loneliness, often called the silent killer, compounds these challenges as aging residents hesitate to report falls, symptoms, or side effects that'll burden loved ones or reveal declining abilities. Addison Care counters this with 24/7 companionship, delivering games, entertainment, and cognitive stimulation. Noninvasive AI Wi-Fi tracks sleep and movement, while family apps provide real-time updates, fostering engagement and transparency.
Safety leaps forward with Addison's four-way emergency response system, on-screen touch, wrist wearables, and mobile GPS-replacing outdated pull cords and glitch-prone pendants that contribute to preventable mortalities and escalations. Early detection of health anomalies ensures rapid response to accidents and emergencies, keeping residents secure across the property.
Negative chatter, a byproduct of resident deaths or departures, erodes trust as families question negligence and safety. Addison Care's proactive oversight minimizes these events, reducing liabilities and preserving the community's reputation. 'When residents thrive, families notice,' adds Dohrmann. 'We're not just enhancing care-we're strengthening bonds.'
At $8/day (.34/hour) with a small one-time equipment fee, Addison Care delivers affordable excellence without extra staff or infrastructure. Managed by Addison's 3D Virtual Caregiver and telecare team, it integrates seamlessly with property staff, doctors, and families - freeing operators to focus on community, not healthcare logistics. Optional resident-pay programs even turn care into a revenue stream.
Implementation is effortless: Addison provisions all technology conducts resident classes, provides ongoing support, and coordinates launch PR events to boost brand visibility. 'Traditional communities excel at filling units but lose revenue due to inadequate safety and health oversight,' says Dohrmann. 'Addison Care fixes that, keeping residents healthier, happier, and in place longer.' With Addison Care, senior living operators gain a competitive edge by elevating care, engagement, and trust while stabilizing income. The future of senior living starts today.

CDC bars expert groups from advising on vaccines
Click in for more news from The Hill{beacon} Health Care Health Care The Big Story CDC bars expert groups from advising on vaccines The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told some expert groups that they will no longer be able to help review scientific data used to issue vaccine recommendations. © APSome members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice's (ACIP) working groups, including physician groups and infectious disease specialists, were sent e-mails late Thursday notifying them that they will no longer serve on the subcommittees. The groups were removed from the subcommittees because they were deemed biased by the Trump administration, according to a copy of the email shared with The Hill. "By definition, Liason organizations are special interest groups and therefore are expected to have a 'bias' based on their constituency/and or population that they represent," the email reads. "It is important that the ACIP Workgroup activities remain free of influence from any special interest groups so ACIP workgroups will no longer include Liason organizations." Eight of the advisory groups released a joint statement Friday saying they are 'deeply disappointed' that they are now barred from informing the development of vaccine recommendations. 'For decades liaisons from our organizations have reviewed published and unpublished data and literature related to vaccine efficacy, effectiveness, and safety and provided unbiased input for ACIP's consideration,' the statement reads. 'To remove our deep medical expertise from this vital and once transparent process is irresponsible, dangerous to our nation's health, and will further undermine public and clinician trust in vaccines.' The groups, which include the American Medical Association, as well as the Infectious Diseases Society of America, called on the Trump administration to reconsider their exclusion from the vaccine review process. A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which oversees the CDC, said that experts will continue to be included in the review process based on 'relevant experience and expertise." 'Under the old ACIP, outside pressure to align with vaccine orthodoxy limited asking the hard questions,' the spokesperson wrote. 'The old ACIP members were plagued by conflicts of interest, influence and bias.' The notice is the latest move from the Trump administration to shake up the nation's vaccine policy and is another major change to the CDC's advisory panel on vaccines. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr abruptly fired all 17 sitting members of ACIP in early June, accusing them of having conflicts of interest and rubber-stamping decisions related to the COVID-19 vaccine. He then replaced the panel with eight hand-picked appointees, including some vaccine skeptics.

Childhood vaccination rates have dropped again, CDC data shows
Advertisement The report comes at a time when public health experts are particularly concerned about childhood vaccinations because of increasing skepticism of the shots, including among top health officials. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, has questioned, without scientific basis, the safety of many childhood vaccines, including those for measles, hepatitis B, and polio. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up In June, a panel of vaccine advisers installed by Kennedy announced that they would closely scrutinize the immunization schedules for children and adolescents. Kennedy's appointees have also restricted access to the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy pregnant women and children. The messaging from Kennedy's office seems 'specifically designed to sow distrust in vaccines,' said Dr. Sean O'Leary, chair of the infectious disease committee for the American Academy of Pediatrics. Advertisement 'The good news is the majority of parents are still vaccinating their kids,' he said. But it is concerning that rates have dropped, he said, 'because that really matters in terms of spread of disease.' In a statement, Andrew Nixon, a spokesperson for the federal health department, said the CDC was committed to making vaccines accessible and raising awareness about their efficacy, but also emphasized that 'the decision to vaccinate is a personal one.' Immunization rates for the vaccine that protects against measles had, for years, held steady at 95 percent, the level needed to stop the disease from spreading in a community. It dipped during the 2020-21 school year to 93.9 percent and has continued to decline each year. In 2024-25, 92.5 percent of kindergartners had received the shots. Vaccination rates for polio also fell to 92.5 percent last year from 95% at the start of the pandemic. The percentage changes may seem small, but they represent large numbers. During the last school year, about 286,000 children entered kindergarten without documentation of receiving the two measles shots required for full protection against the disease, according to the CDC. Vaccinations are not evenly spread across the country. There are many vulnerable parts of the country where coverage is far lower than 93 percent, including West Texas, where the large measles outbreak began. 'You can have a city that has a 98 percent vaccination rate but have a community in that city that has a 60 percent rate,' Ratner said. 'I think the fear is that we have more of those now.' Vaccinations against pertussis, or whooping cough, have also steadily declined since the pandemic, falling to just over 92 percent last year, from 94.9 percent in the 2019-20 school year. Advertisement There were more than 32,000 cases of whooping cough in 2024, the highest tally in a decade. In California alone, the disease struck 2,000 people, including an infant who died, between January and October 2024. The number of children granted medical exemptions for shots otherwise required to start public school in many states has remained flat over the years. But nonmedical exemptions nationwide have spiked to 3.6 percent in the last school year from 2 percent a decade ago. Exemptions increased in 36 states and Washington, D.C., with 17 states reporting exemptions exceeding 5 percent, according to the CDC. Disruptions during the pandemic derailed immunizations across the world. But vaccination rates have not recovered since then, as many public health experts had hoped they would. Globally, vaccination for measles fell to 68 percent during the pandemic. Intensive efforts have improved the coverage somewhat, but by the end of last year, only 76 percent of children worldwide had received two measles shots. Some vaccine skepticism long predates the pandemic. Anti-vaccine campaigns have often targeted the measles vaccine, falsely linking it to autism. That's especially concerning to public health experts, because the virus is extraordinarily contagious and can rapidly tear through pockets of low immunization, as it has in Texas and neighboring states. The United States endured the consequences of falling vaccination rates once before. In the late 1980s, public health budget cuts by the Reagan administration brought down vaccination rates, particularly among low-income Black and Hispanic children. From 1989 through 1991, measles infected more than 55,000 Americans and killed 166. Infection can cause long-term harms, making people more vulnerable to other infections. Advertisement A 2015 study estimated that before widespread vaccination, measles may have accounted for as many as half of all infectious disease deaths in children.
