American Senior Communities Rejects Patchwork of Tools and Instead Standardizes All Transitions of Care with Olio

INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 9, 2026--

Olio, a care coordination platform purpose‑built for transitions of care, today announced a major expansion of its partnership with American Senior Communities (ASC). ASC will now use Olio in every skilled nursing facility within its portfolio, having selected it as the only solution capable of standardizing and streamlining each step of the care transition workflow, instead of relying on a patchwork of tools. With this expansion, ASC becomes the first skilled nursing facility (SNF) operator in the country to manage admissions, census, discharge coordination, and network performance analytics within a single, AI‑powered platform.

The decision builds on a partnership formed in June 2025, when 69 ASC facilities first adopted Olio to manage admissions and outbound referrals. ASC will now deploy Olio’s full feature set across all 94 SNF facilities, extending the impact of the platform across its entire footprint.

Olio stands out as a complete platform in a market of point solutions

The skilled nursing market is crowded with point solutions and AI add‑ons that each introduce more logins, data silos, and integrations to maintain. Most vendors address only one slice of the journey— typically admissions, which are now table stakes in the rapidly evolving SNF market. Meanwhile, Olio and ASC are tackling the entire, interconnected transitions‑of‑care experience.

Its platform uses AI to turn dense referral packets into clear, accurate summaries so teams can make faster, more confident admission decisions. It provides real‑time census intelligence to stabilize occupancy and payer mix, allows SNFs to coordinate outbound referrals, and tracks downstream performance so operators can build and manage a network of trusted partners.

“For years, SNFs have been told the answer is ‘just one more tool’ and that’s exactly why care is fragmented today. By standardizing on Olio, ASC is proving that you only need one platform to improve the whole thing. We believe this is the future of skilled nursing, and ASC is out in front showing the industry what it can look like.”
— Ben Forrest, CEO at Olio

By running all aspects of care transitions on one platform, ASC captures each patient interaction in a single, connected record, positioning the organization for deeper collaboration with hospital partners, payers, and ACOs.

Year One Results Give ASC Confidence to Scale

Since launching Olio in 69 facilities in June 2025, ASC has transformed transitions of care from an operational headache into a measurable advantage. The organization has sent over 3,500 outbound referrals through Olio to its high-performing network of 34 home health partners and 29 hospice partners. The average referral to home health is accepted in less than 24 hours. By partnering with Olio, ASC has gained greater visibility and control over its network, enabling the organization to build a top-performing provider network based on measurable performance. These results drove ASC's decision to scale Olio across its full portfolio.

“ We weren’t looking for another feature or a quick fix; we were looking for a partner with a real transitions‑of‑care strategy. Olio brings all of our critical workflows into one place and gives us the visibility we need to be a better partner to our hospitals, improve outcomes for our patients, and run a stronger business. ”
— Steven Van Camp, CEO at American Senior Communities

TORONTO (AP) — A new Canadian-built bridge across the Detroit River that U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to block will open at the end of the week, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday.

In February, Trump demanded that Canada turn over at least half the ownership of the bridge and agree to other unspecified demands in one of his many salvos over cross-border trade issues.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, which would connect Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit in the U.S. state of Michigan, and would be a vital economic artery between Canada and the United States, had been expected to open early this year, according to information on the project’s website.

The bridge is named after Howe, the late Canadian hockey great who spent 25 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings.

The project was negotiated by former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder — a Republican — and paid for by the Canadian government to help ease congestion over the existing Ambassador Bridge and Detroit-Windsor tunnel. Work has been underway since 2018.

“Obviously the bridge will be open at the end of the week. A symbol of, but also a fact of cooperation between our countries,” Carney told reporters as he walked into Parliament.

“Great for Canadians going across the border, Americans coming across the border, and for commerce,” he said, calling it “positive news.”

Trump threatened the bridge as the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement is up for review this year, and Trump has been taking a hard-line position before those talks, including by issuing new tariff threats.

Carney, meanwhile, has spoken out on the world stage against economic coercion by the United States.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a Michigan Democrat, has said that the Canadian-funded project is a “huge boon” to her state and its economic future.

Michigan is a swing state that Trump carried in both 2016 and 2024.

Snyder wrote in an op-ed in The Detroit News earlier this year that Trump was wrong in asserting that Canada owns both the U.S. and Canadian sides of the Gordie Howe bridge.

“Canada and the state of Michigan are 50/50 owners of the new bridge,” Snyder wrote. “Canada was wonderful and financed the entire bridge. They will get repaid with interest from the tolls. Michigan and the United States got their half-ownership with no investment.”
