Crucible Care
For senior living communities

Fall-risk reduction your VP, surveyor, and families can read.

Most senior fitness programs end with a party and a photo. Crucible Care ends with a signed PDF: five clinical measures, per-resident progress, attendance, and fall-risk category shifts. Run by your staff. Measured every step.

The sample report is what your licensed cohort produces — same primitives the in-portal scorecard and Week-12 report use.

Why directors choose it

Built for the problems your staff actually faces.

Staff turnover kills program continuity
Sessions are scripted. Any staff member runs them. The program doesn't leave when someone does.
Corporate wants outcome data you don't have
Five clinical assessments, per-resident progress, fall-risk category shifts. Ready to export and present.
Families ask what you're doing for their loved one
Per-resident progress reports and a Family Portal that shows weekly attendance and assessment trends.
Survey prep is always last-minute and ad hoc
The outcomes report documents structured programming, resident participation, and measurable results. Ready any time.

Safety & liability

What your DON needs to know.

Crucible Care is a structured fitness and wellness program, not a medical service. Every participant screened before Week 1. Written stop criteria in every session, with a clear escalation-to-nursing protocol. Release, intake, and incident documentation templates included.

Pricing

Priced against a fall. Not your activities budget.

There are two ways to run it: your wellness staff lead it on our platform (the most affordable option, and most facilities’ long-term choice), or our coach is on site each week. Exact pricing depends on your community’s size and which option fits, so we quote it on a quick call after you’ve seen the program work. The best place to start is a free demo class.

Quick answers

Before you ask.

Does our activity director need certification?

No. Sessions are scripted from warm-up to cool-down. After a two-hour onboarding call, any staff member comfortable leading a room can run it.

What cohort size works best?

8–12 residents per cohort. Most facilities run one cohort at a time; some run two in parallel (Strength + Chair-Based).

How fast can we start?

Two weeks from signed agreement to Week 1 baseline.

Do we need new software our staff has to learn?

One browser tab. No integration with PointClickCare or any existing system required. Printed session sheets available for staff who prefer paper.

See the full FAQ for everything else, including clinical director questions, data privacy, and EHR integration.

Are you the Executive Director reviewing this for approval?

We have a page written specifically for you. Covering the operational, clinical, and financial case, and resources for every person in your approval chain.
