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.
