Wandering Resident System Interface

Wandering resident monitoring provides peace of mind when dealing with resident elopement. Residents with the potential for elopement from the facility or wing wear a special transmitter on the ankle or wrist. Should the resident exit through the monitored door, an audible alarm is sounded and staff is immediately notified. Resident elopements can be monitored and recorded when interfaced with the emergency call system. The event is processed through the emergency call system computer and all caregivers receive immediate alarm notification via handheld radios, cordless phones or pagers. The computer documents the date, time and location of the elopement and allows staff to view and print the events. This can be a valuable tool in identifying resident patterns and accessing their level of care.
