A Safety Challenge Arises: Limited Oversight with Paper Logs
Before adopting Advanced Entry, Montecito Heights relied entirely on paper sign-ins. Visitors wrote down their names, often without verification, making it difficult to confirm identities or restrict access when necessary.
“With paper, we didn’t really know who was coming in and out,” said Ms. Miller, Administrator. “Sometimes we had trouble identifying family members or verifying their connection to residents.”
Manual processes also slowed the reception staff, created inconsistencies in health screenings, and made it nearly impossible to monitor real-time visitor activity—especially during heightened COVID-19 precautions.
Monticeto Embraces Smart, Secure, and Efficient Check-Ins.
To address these challenges, Montecito Heights implemented Advanced Entry, a digital visitor management system that combines automation, facial recognition, and real-time health screening. The platform quickly became an integral part of daily operations, helping staff verify visitors, monitor temperature checks, and maintain accurate records.
“Now we can actually see who’s coming in, identify them, and make sure they’re authorized to be here,” – Ms. Miller, Administrator
Key features in use:
- Facial recognition & photo identification for instant verification
- Automated temperature and health screening to flag potential issues
- Digital records and visitor logs for better traceability and reporting
- Visitor messaging and notifications for improved communication with families
Smoother Workflows, Safer Visits
The improvements were immediate. Transitioning from manual sign-in to Advanced Entry streamlined visitor flow and reduced administrative workload.
“Everything’s on record now—families, doctors, employees—it’s easier for everyone,” Ms. Miller added.
Montecito Heights also saw increased engagement with families, using automated visitor messaging to gather feedback and address concerns promptly.
