In 1988, my late father built his first Assisted Living community in Atlanta, Georgia. As the son of a senior housing developer and ex-home health/hospice/home care agency owner, I was a participant in dinner table conversations that covered all things “senior.” One of the consistent topics was the safety and security of the residents living in his communities. Safety, security, and risk mitigation were non-negotiables for my father then and remain that way to this day.
In 2011, I made the move back into the family business, where I served as the Executive Director in our flagship Assisted Living community in Atlanta, GA. It was my time as an Executive Director where the Accushield idea spawned. In 2013, I left the family business and founded Accushield, a user-friendly sign-in and health-screening kiosk for Senior Living Communities. Accushield’s tablet-based kiosk replaces the manual paper logbooks with a streamlined sign-in and health screening process for all visitors, staff, third-party caregivers, and residents who enter and exit the building.
Over the last nine years, our goal has remained the same – to help Senior Living operators create a safer environment by always knowing who is in the community.
