Community Security and Peace of Mind: How The Arbor Company Keeps Residents Safer   |  READ NOW

Welcome Visitors.
Enhance Security.
Strengthen Connections.

Accushield creates safer, more connected communities by utilizing visitor, third-party care, and resident data to improve security, engagement, and online reputation.

In addition, communities can further elevate security with “Verify,” an automated credential verification solution for third-party care providers and vendors. Integrated with the kiosk, Verify ensures that all third-party care providers and vendors meet essential credentialing standards, ensuring residents receive the highest quality of care from fully vetted and qualified professionals.

Since 2013, Accushield has been leading the way in innovating visitor management for senior living communities.

We are proud to serve thousands of communities, including Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living, Nursing Homes, Hospitals, and other healthcare buildings, across all 50 states and Canada.

Your Guest Experience is About to Get a Whole Lot Cleaner

A seamless sign-in process for all adult children, prospects, and guests helps drive a good impression.

  • First Class: Give your concierge the tools needed to greet all visitors by their name along with information regarding resident whereabouts.
  • Speed: Impress your visitors with a modern visitor management sign-in and identification process that is cleaner and light-years faster than pen and paper.
  • Security: Show your visitors how important resident security is to your brand. FACT: Safety and security remain the #1 reason residents move into long-term care communities.
  • Brand Confidence: Provide an intentional and proactive way for visitors to leave feedback.
  • Infection Control: Convey the importance of proper infection prevention and control.

Visitor & Third-Party Caregiver Reporting

The Accushield dashboard is the central hub for reporting on visitors, third-party caregivers, agency and resident activity. This comprehensive dashboard includes powerful reporting features that enable operators to monitor visitor activity easily and intelligently. Additionally, the third-party caregiver dashboard empowers operators to manage third-party care (i.e., Private Duty Aides, Home Care, Home Health, Hospice, etc.) and marry these services with the residents to whom they render service.

  • Visitor, third-party care, vendor, staff, and resident sign-in and out reporting
  • Document acceptance and verification
  • Agency staffing hourly/daily log reports
  • Resident third-party care reporting & analytics
  • Sign residents out and keep up with where they are going and when they will return

The Accushield Difference - #ProjectLoveMeter

Accushield is uniquely positioned to help prevent senior residents from becoming isolated, lonely, and depressed. Because of this, we are pursuing a radical initiative called #ProjectLoveMeter.

The goal of #ProjectLoveMeter is to tackle the challenges of social isolation, severe loneliness, and the risk of mental decline among residents of senior living and skilled nursing facilities, which often stem from a lack of social interaction and engagement with visitors.

By utilizing the social visit data gathered through our visitor management kiosks and other engagement platforms, Accushield can identify residents who are at risk due to minimal visitor engagement. This visitation data allows providers to use Accushield’s Volunteer Network, which comprises 1.6 million people, to arrange for 30-minute social visits for these residents. An essential aspect of this approach is how Accushield thoughtfully matches volunteers with residents based on shared interests and likes, ensuring a meaningful connection. Consequently, this strategy not only aids in the early detection of residents in need but also enhances access to essential volunteer support, thereby proactively improving the quality of care and enriching the lives of residents.

Visitor, Resident, and Staff, Evacuation Management

Knowing who is in your Community during an Evacuation is critical. The Accushield kiosk gives management a quick and easy way to account for all on-site residents, staff, and visitors.

“The difference between [hurricanes] Irene and Sandy was major. Instead of dealing with all the paperwork, we now have the Accushield reports (Accushield Evacuation Management) that we can look at to identify, more efficiently, more accurately, more quickly, and in a very tumultuous time, who’s in our communities or where they have evacuated to. We can look at those reports and talk with families. “Your mother has exited this building, and she has been identified in this building.” So it was a much easier process.”

– Dr. Carol McKinley – President and CEO – Simpson Senior Services

Cooper Vittitow
President, Civitas Senior Living
Accushield is a highly effective solution for registering and identifying visitors while enhancing resident and employee safety and security in our communities.
Bernard Wheeler-Medley
Senior Vice President, Belmont Village
Residents and families choose Arbor for peace of mind, and Accushield plays a crucial role in delivering that peace. Our community sales directors, and our conversations with potential residents and their families, all revolve around ensuring the highest levels of safety and security.
Krishnan Kalyanasundaram
Vice President, The Arbor Company
Milestone Retirement Communities installed the Accushield entry management kiosk in over 40 communities in about a week. The installation and training process was simple, thorough, and took about one hour per community to get up and running.
Patrick Dooley
Chief Development Officer, Milestone Retirement Communities
Accushield has evolved from a nice-to-have check-in tool to the virtual center point of our daily operation. As regulators have had to evolve how they evaluate operator protocols, they often compliment us on how we have incorporated the Accushield solution into our overall methodology in tracking and managing visitors, third-party care, and staff. Like many technology advances, this has become a regular and reliable part of our everyday best practices.Hide
David Eskenazy
CEO, Cogir Management, USA
Not only is the Accushield kiosk easy to use but it has provided a sense of security in our communities. Times are not easy and being able to provide this additional feeling of safety to our residents and staff has been immeasurable. From the initial sales process to their online led training, the Accushield team has been very flexible and generous with their time, and as a result, made this transition a smooth one.
Kylie Kidd
Director of Financial Services, Century Park Associates
Accushield has become an important tool in our communities. Overall, it has increased the mindfulness of who is visiting our communities daily which in turn increases the safety and security of our residents and staff. The electronic sign-in ability allows us to differentiate the family members from the general public from the various vendors who provide service to us. Every person who enters a UMC community must sign-in and is then provided an identification badge for the day. The Accushield reports provide quality data regarding our visitors that helps strengthen our care and services to our residents. Finally, the community leadership does not have to store multiple sign-in journals as Accushield stores that data within their software.Hide
Larry Carlson
CEO, United Methodist Communities
It is refreshing to speak to a company like Accushield who always seems to be thinking one step ahead. As we all must augment the way we think about best practices and what technology tools can help us with our everyday practices, Accushield is doing the same. Their intimate knowledge of the business and quest for solving OUR needs keeps them customer-focused and easy to work with.
David Eskenazy
Chairman, Cogir Management, USA
The Accushield technology allows for operational efficiencies and time savings so our healthcare providers can continue to elevate the care and compassion they provide our resident population. Innovation is an expression of how we continue to foster an environment where our residents “Love the Way They Live.”
Ted Lowndes
President, Dial Senior Living
To tell families your environment is safe and not know EXACTLY who is in your community at all times is flat-out irresponsible. It's like leaving the door to the hen house open and hoping no hungry foxes find it. Accushield is the Border Collie that sits at the entrance with its head on a swivel.
Les Strech
Managing Principal, McNair Living
Residents and families have commented how much they appreciate the importance and awareness we have placed on resident safety and confidentiality.
