A story from Prestige Rehab
“We used to say, ‘Your mom is getting better.’
Now we say, ‘Her cadence is up 15%. Here is what that means.’
That builds real confidence.”
Doug Dzema, Regional Director, East Coast
For years, families at Prestige Rehab heard the same reassurance. Your mom is getting better. She's doing well. The staff meant it. But it was a feeling, not a fact. And families could tell the difference.
Prestige needed a way to measure mobility in real life, not just in a quarterly assessment. Traditional tools like the Berg Balance Scale were clinically sound but limited by patient ability. Clinicians sensed decline before they could prove it. Families got reassurance instead of evidence.
OneStep turned the smartphone in a clinician's pocket into a clinical tool. A walk down the hallway became an assessment. No wearables, no calibration, no extra equipment. Prestige scaled it across 25 communities, and conversations with families changed. Instead of vague comfort, staff could show a resident's cadence climbing week over week and explain exactly what it meant.
The data confirmed what the team had started to sense. Residents were not just being watched more closely. They were getting better.
Now, when a family asks how mom is doing, Prestige doesn't just answer. They show them.
