ATLANTA, May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Accushield, a leading visitor management system
provider that elevates safety, security, and well-being for senior
living, skilled nursing, and acute care providers, welcomes Perfect
Pair, a renowned nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering
social engagement and connectedness for skilled nursing and senior
living residents, to the Accushield Volunteer Network, uniting in
shared purpose to reduce loneliness and isolation risks in the
industry.
Since 2013, Accushield has been at the forefront of safety and
security in the Long-Term Post-Acute Care industry. Serving over
7,000 communities in the United
States and Canada,
Accushield's visitor management solution allows operators to
capture valuable data that changes how the industry recognizes and
responds to resident needs. One of those needs, social
connectedness, has grown uncontrollably since the COVID-19
pandemic.
That's why Accushield's Love Meter Report underwent a massive
update in 2024, increasing insight into resident loneliness and
isolation risks for operators and clinicians. The report's ability
to track and trend social visits saves valuable time between
identifying risks and implementing interventions designed to
respond to them, including increasing social visits.
But that's not where Accushield's mission to help manage
loneliness ends; also launched in 2024, #ProjectLoveMeter, a social
movement and call to action to reduce senior loneliness, helps
operators solve two common industry issues: access to volunteers
and facilitating meaningful resident social connectedness.
Perfect Pair, which focuses on creating one-on-one connections
between university students and seniors, joins the
#ProjectLoveMeter Volunteer Network to increase volunteer resources
across 15 states. Their resident-to-volunteer pairing process
perfectly aligns with Accushield's volunteer coordination feature,
matching residents and volunteers based on availability, hobbies
and interests, and other resident preferences for 30-minute social
visits.
"Perfect Pair is thrilled to join the #ProjectLoveMeter
Volunteer Network to expand our collective mission to combat social
isolation in older adults," said Lizzy
Rueppel, Interim Executive Director at Perfect Pair. "We are
excited for the opportunity this partnership provides us with to
match more one-on-one pairs and create more intergenerational
connections across the country."
When you couple Accushield's Love Meter Report, Volunteer
Coordination functionality, and the #ProjectLoveMeter Volunteer
Network, you have an all-in-one, resident-centered behavioral
health and wellness solution that supports staff and saves valuable
resources.
"Accushield is delighted to welcome Perfect Pair into the
#ProjectLoveMeter Volunteer Network," said TK King, Vice President
of Healthcare Strategy at Accushield. "Their dedication to seniors
and their passion for making a difference aligns perfectly with our
mission to enhance the lives of seniors and support the industry
operators and clinicians. Together, we look forward to reducing
loneliness and isolation risks by creating meaningful connections
with seniors, one visit at a time."
Accushield invites individuals and organizations alike to join
the #ProjectLoveMeter Volunteer Network to help reduce senior
loneliness and isolation risks. Through meaningful 30-minute
visits, volunteers have the power to create joy and lasting
connections for residents in need.
