Bickford Senior Living Enhances Safety and Connectivity
Bickford Senior Living is revolutionizing how communities ensure safety and foster connections among residents by implementing Accushield's innovative visitor management system. This collaboration introduces two key features, Verify and Project Love Meter, aimed at enhancing safety measures while combating social isolation.
Transforming Community Entry Protocols
By adopting Accushield's technology, Bickford Senior Living effectively shifts from traditional paper logs to a modern digital solution that enhances entry protocols. This new system acts as a digital gatekeeper that verifies and streamlines visitor credentials, ensuring the well-being of every resident. The platform not only enhances security but also aims to significantly improve the visitor experience through a seamless check-in process.
Addressing Resident Isolation and Well-Being
In a world where social isolation can profoundly affect the elderly, Bickford is addressing this challenge directly. By utilizing the Project Love Meter, care teams can track visitor frequencies to identify residents who may be experiencing loneliness. This proactive approach allows Bickford to perform timely interventions and maintain meaningful connections between residents and community members.

The partnership enables Bickford to achieve several critical operational goals:
- Enhance Security with Accushield Verify: By ensuring that all care providers and vendors meet established safety standards before providing direct services, Bickford can maintain a secure environment for residents.
- Combat Isolation via Project Love Meter: Utilizing social interaction metrics to connect residents with volunteers and nursing students, this feature promotes active engagement and reduces feelings of isolation.

Leadership's Vision on Technology and Care
Andy Eby, CEO of Bickford Senior Living, emphasizes the dual benefits of safety and connectivity that Accushield provides: "Accushield doesn't just make our communities safer — it makes them more connected. By knowing who's coming through our doors, we protect our residents physically but also create meaningful interactions that enhance their lives."
