Coronavirus in Senior Living: Managing visitors and the risks they pose to your residents

ATLANTA, GA., Feb. 5, 2020 – Accushield today announced the release of a new feature that gives senior living operators the ability to add a Coronavirus Question screen to the Accushield visitor sign-in kiosk(s) at entrances to their communities. This new kiosk screen prompts visitors to answer “Yes” or “No” to the following Coronavirus question:

Have you returned from or been in contact with someone who has returned from China in the last 14 days? “Yes” responses are then directed to see community management prior to entering the community.

“Coronavirus is a serious risk for seniors, especially for those living in a community environment” says Allen Barnes, CEO at Accushield, LLC.

The Coronavirus screening question feature will be available free of charge for all Accushield Partner Communities starting today. For more information please contact Accushield at communitysupport@accushield.com.
