Brightview Senior Living Debuts FitWay to Reduce Injury Risk of Outdoor Falls

Brightview Senior Living, a leader in senior living that builds, owns and operates more than 40 communities along the east coast, announced a new partnership with FitWay Rubber Surfacing. FitWay pathways are a product of PlayCore, a company that develops leading research and has a complete portfolio of innovative products, programs, and services to build healthy communities through play and recreation.  In partnership with Brightview, PlayCore developed FitWay for outdoor healthcare spaces featuring an enhanced grip and attenuation that does not compromise gait and balance.

Brightview communities in Sayville, NY, Shelton, CT,  Lake Tappan, NY, and Paramus, NJ, now feature FitWay in outdoor areas, and going forward, it will be included in newly developed Brightview locations. In addition to outdoor pathways, apartments in the Wellspring Village, the innovative memory care units reserved for those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, will be equipped with a padded vinyl flooring for the same purpose.
