WANDER MANAGEMENT

Resident Security and Safety for Your Community

Smartshield Solutions has been providing wander management solutions for commercial and government clients since 2007. 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. Smartshield solutions can help you:

• 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 alert or alarm notifications to staff 
• Take immediate action to protect residents or patients in your care

Whether you are looking to protect wandering residents through access control or need a more dynamic system to permit normal traffic flow, Smartshield Solutions can equip you with the right wander management  system to fit your facility’s needs and budget.
