Elevate your Community Safety

Embracing Proactive Security Measures: Unlike traditional security systems, Accushield represents a shift towards proactive safety measures. This system is designed to identify and address potential security threats before they materialize, setting it apart from reactive tools like security cameras.

A study from AARP in 2022 underscores this need, revealing that 84% of adults over 50 consider resident safety and security as a top priority when selecting a senior living community, ranking it above amenities and cost for many.

The Power of Perception: Implementing the Accushield system does more than improve security; it sends a clear message about the community’s commitment to its residents. This is crucial, as the AARP survey highlights that safety and security are the most critical factors for families and prospective residents. By choosing Accushield, a community demonstrates a well-thought-out strategy to protect its population, fostering trust and enhancing its reputation.

Differentiation in a Competitive Market: In our sector, where differentiation is key, Accushield provides a unique selling point. As amenities like activity programs are essential, so is advanced visitor security. This addresses the safety concerns of residents and their families and positions the community as a leader in resident well-being, an increasingly important factor for those seeking a secure living environment for their loved ones.

Enhancing Community Reputation through Positive PR: Integrating a digital visitor management system like Accushield isn’t just about improving care outcomes; it’s a robust PR and marketing tool. It tells a positive story to potential residents and their families, emphasizing the community’s dedication to safety and security. This attracts new residents and bolsters the community’s standing in the skilled nursing sector.

Conclusion: Showcasing an advanced visitor security system like Accushield is a strategic, necessary step for skilled nursing communities. It addresses key concerns of potential residents and their families, sets the community apart in a competitive market, and enhances public relations efforts. As the skilled nursing landscape evolves, prioritizing security with innovative solutions like Accushield is not just a choice but an imperative for providing the safest possible living experience.
