Senior Living & Long-term Care
Staff and Resident Safety and More
Customizable solutions for senior living and long-term care environments
Protecting Respectfully
The potential dangers of people wandering undetected while under your care are significant and can lead to unwanted consequences. High risk residents or patients, like those in senior living facilities, and dementia or memory care units, wander for a variety of reasons. Without proper safeguards, residents can find themselves in unsafe areas of a facility or even outside without notice.
Secure Care Products provides advanced location-based solutions to mitigate these types of concerns, including DoorGUARDIAN® for wander management and access control along with ENVisionIT® which further utilizes the real-time information gathered to provide enhanced reporting along with a wide range of safety-related and operational performance capabilities.
Wander Management and Access Control
Installing a wandering management system can’t prevent every wander prone individual from moving within a facility. However, it is a key best management practice to mitigate instances of elopement and unsupervised access to restricted areas.
The DoorGUARDIAN® Universal Series wander management solution allows senior living and long-term care facilities 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 attempts to leave
- Track the exact location of a wander prone patient or resident, and create rules to automatically trigger alerts or alarm notifications to staff (when used with the ENVisionIT® location-based data solution)
