Fostering Safer, More Connected Communities
We exist to ensure that every person who lives in, works in, or visits a senior living community is known, protected, and connected.
Every Person in Senior Living Should Be...
Known
Every person feels seen, expected, and valued from the moment they arrive until the time they depart.
Protected
Safety is always present, creating quiet confidence and peace of mind for everyone inside each community.
Connected
Meaningful moments and critical data turn simple interactions into a true sense of belonging.
The Heart Behind the Technology
In 2011, while managing an assisted living community in Atlanta, I realized our visitor paper sign-in log was more than just an administrative burden – it was a liability. Families, vendors, and private caregivers moved through our halls every day, yet when a daughter asked, “Who was with my mom yesterday?” I had no answer. In that moment, it became clear that this wasn’t just a paperwork problem; it was a fundamental breakdown in trust.
That realization led to the founding of Accushield in 2013. Alongside my co-founder, Allen Barnes, we saw that digitizing the sign-in process could do far more than improve security. We built a platform designed to unlock powerful, dormant data, transforming every entry into meaningful insight. By streamlining sign-in, capturing real-time family feedback, and validating third-party caregiver credentials, the front desk evolved from a checkpoint into a powerful operational asset.
Critically, Accushield extends visibility from who entered the building to what clinical care was delivered. By tracking third-party care delivery, we enable transparent care coordination and close the gap between access and accountability. What started as a simple front-desk fix became a mission: to create safer and more connected senior living communities.

The Heart Behind the Technology
In 1988, my late father built his first Assisted Living community in Atlanta, and from an early age I learned that resident safety and security were non-negotiable. Years later, as Executive Director of our flagship community, I saw firsthand how relying on paper sign-in logs limited our ability to truly know who was in the building.
That experience led me to found Accushield in 2013 with a simple mission: replace paper logs with a digital way to create safer, more accountable senior living and healthcare environments. Today, that mission remains unchanged – helping communities protect the people who matter most.
