Visitor & Entry Management
Peace of mind is knowing who's onsite
When it comes to ensuring the security of residents, staff, and the entire building, it’s important to recognize that your front desk serves as the first line of defense. Given the vulnerability of the residents we care for, safety and security always take precedence in healthcare settings. This is why Accushield’s visitor management solution is crucial—it ensures the safeguarding of both your staff and residents, enabling you to greet visitors of all types with unwavering confidence.

Connect | Your Community Messaging Platform
As part of our ongoing commitment to facility communication, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Connect product line (formerly known as ‘Group SMS’). The goal of the Connect product line is to streamline messaging to staff, residents, and all building visitors. With advanced SMS communication tools, you can provide targeted, timely, and personalized communication. Connect messaging features allow a community administrator to facilitate text communication related to facility events and activities.
Here are a few examples of how Connect can help with facility communication:
- Do you have upcoming events at the facility?
Send a text to all staff and residents about upcoming events. - Do you need to prep for upcoming inclement weather, or do you have an emergency that may require an evacuation?
Send a text reminder to all staff, residents, and visitors to sign-out in a timely manner. - Do you have to communicate to a specific set of individuals related to the health/welfare of a resident?
Filter and select the visitors and staff who need to know and send a text to the selected recipients.
Screen Size Matters for Seniors and ADA Compliance
You serve a population of incredible seniors. Because of this, your front-entry kiosks need to meet certain ADA, US 508 & WCAG compliance requirements, which the Accushield kiosk is designed to surpass. These requirements are enforceable by federal, state, and local agencies. Additionally, following these kiosk requirements helps protect you from lawsuits for not complying with these regulations.
Compliance Features Include:
- Accessibility in Design: Accessibility in design is based on objective, measurable facts and is concerned only with technical or logistical truths.
- Contrast Ratios: Ratios must meet the needs of the visually impaired.
- Touch Targets: Geriatric research supports design with two fingers. Both Apple and Google recommend 2x fingertip size. Our designs are almost at 3X making it easier for seniors to use.
- Industry Standard Iconography: Our designs incorporate the same iconography leveraged for US DOT & Google, and optimized for the IOT.
