LA GRANGE, Ill. and CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ActiveProtective®, maker of the groundbreaking Tango® Belt, today announced a new partnership with Plymouth Place, the vibrant continuing care retirement community based in the La Grange, Illinois area. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in empowering older adults with safer mobility, innovative technology, and greater independence.

"Plymouth Place shares our belief that innovation must be purposeful, and that safety and independence can go hand in hand. By bringing the Tango Belt to their community, they are taking proactive steps to ensure safe mobility for their residents. We are proud to collaborate with an organization so deeply committed to empowering aging in place." — Wamis Singhatat, CEO of ActiveProtective

As part of this partnership, Plymouth Place will begin an educational rollout to residents and family members introducing Tango Belt across Independent Living (IL), to be followed by Assisted Living (AL), and the Memory Care (MC) communities beginning in early January using the theme, "Let's Tango through the New Year - New Protective Technology."

This rollout directly aligns with Plymouth Place's commitment to leveraging innovation to support safer mobility, reduce fall-related injuries, and promote independence allowing residents to live their best lives.

As the management organization supporting Plymouth Place, Plymouth Management Services will play a key role in extending this approach across the broader communities it serves. Through this partnership, Plymouth Management Services continues to advance innovative, evidence-based solutions like the Tango Belt that enhance resident safety, mobility, and independence while supporting operational excellence across its senior living portfolio.

The Tango Belt is an innovative, FDA-authorized breakthrough medical device clinically proven to protect at risk older adults from fall-related hip fractures. Using advanced sensing technology and rapid-deploy airbag protection, the Tango Belt detects a serious fall in progress and deploys an airbag to cushion the hips and reduce injury from impact.

Designed for mobility and daily wear, the Tango Belt offers peace of mind to older adults, helping them live confidently and maintain their level of independence. When used with its companion app, the Tango Belt automatically sends a notification to family members and caregivers when a fall is detected.

Wamis Singhatat, CEO of ActiveProtective, highlighted the importance of this partnership:
