Sixty percent of seniors with dementia or Alzheimer’s tend to wander. Is your community prepared to protect those residents? WanderGuard BLUE sets the highest standard in keeping wander-prone residents safe while maximizing dignity, independence and freedom. Provide residents, families and care staff peace of mind with reliable, individual resident protection.
Helping Caregivers Protect Residents
Securitas Healthcare’s WanderGuard solution pioneered electronic wander management, becoming the most widely deployed wander management system in use at more than 6,500 senior living communities. Now, the next-generation solution WanderGuard BLUE sets the pace for the industry in protecting residents at risk of wandering, taking our legacy of performance and innovation to new heights.
Peace of mind
All-in-one solution
Whether you’re protecting one door or an entire campus, WanderGuard BLUE offers an affordable, scalable solution that grows with you. Manage the system’s feature-rich components wirelessly for simplified installation and updates, and take advantage of seamless integration to the Arial solution: with alarms and reporting in one location and alerts sent directly to caregivers’ mobile devices, staff are empowered to work more efficiently for data-driven care planning and delivery.
Advanced Centralized Access Control
WanderGuard BLUE ensures security standards are maintained as staff and visitors pass through controlled doors with individual access codes or badges. In conjunction with Arial's centralized solution, daily management of staff and visitor door access is made easy. Visitors can be added in Arial and provided a PIN, limiting the risk of sharing general codes and enhancing community security.
Manage daily Staff and Visitor credentials and access to doors from Arial, eliminating interaction with individual door controllers for each change across a community.
Directly in Arial, log a resident out of a building for a hospital visit or visitor meeting so that selected doors will ignore the resident’s bracelet for a set duration of time. Arial will notify caregivers when the schedules have expired, assisting staff in knowing the resident was safely returned.
Doors can be centrally scheduled, helping limit risk due to easier control of credentials. Centrally disable doors if there is ever a need for fast unimpeded movement of people.
Location-Based Accuracy With Geofencing
Take resident safety to even greater heights. With real-time location monitoring, automatically calculate resident location and receive immediate notifications when a resident wanders into an unexpected area of your community. Geofencing capabilities enable staff to define boundaries without doors, or establish special areas in your community where wandering residents should and should not be. You can even define temporary areas like activity rooms and schedule designated hours of enhanced protection.
Create “virtually bounded areas” within a community for memory care residents and automatically notify caregivers if the resident leaves the area.
Assign a resident to a specific area of the facility (i.e. assisted living wing, memory care wing, independent living wing) and receive notification if they leave their designated area.
Assign a resident temporarily to an area, like a courtyard or activity room, and receive notification if they leave the area.
Quickly locate a resident to meet with a visitor.
Affordable, easy to use technology
WanderGuard BLUE uses a new generation of technology, including Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), to not only deliver a wider range of functionality, but also to reduce the total cost of ownership. In half the setup time, confidently protect residents in your community with sleek, stylish wearable bracelets offering advanced safety and security while supporting resident dignity.
"Providing location of residents and geofencing makes this wander protection solution ideal."
