Patient Wandering System

The potential dangers of wandering resident elopements are many and can have permanent, catastrophic effects.

High risk residents or patients, like those in dementia or memory care units, wander for a variety of reasons. Sometimes due to confusion, sometimes looking for something or someone, or sometimes because they are just plain lost. Wandering residents can find themselves in unsafe areas of a facility or eloping from the building entirely unnoticed.

Installing a wandering resident security system can’t prevent every potential wandering scenario. But it should absolutely be a key component of any wander prevention program. The wander management solution allows facilities and hospitals to:

• Monitor wandering residents or high-risk patients, while maintaining their dignity to move freely about a facility.
• Secure or lock and alarm specific doors if a resident attempt to leave.
• Take immediate action to protect residents or patients in your care.
