Protecting “at-risk” residents from the threat of elopement has become a high priority for skilled nursing, assisted living, and rehab facilities. The ResidentGuard solution provides flexible and reliable wander management protection that seamlessly integrates with your community’s security protocols.
Wander Management System - ResidentGuard
For long-term care and senior living facilities, the health and safety of residents are paramount for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, many memory care residents in these communities suffer from Alzheimer’s, dementia or other conditions that leave them susceptible to elopement.
There are many nuances when it comes to providing the proper care for residents with exit seeking behaviors. But health and safety will always be of utmost importance.
This discreet bracelet can be seamlessly integrated with a resident’s security system to alert caregivers when patients have wandered from the protected zone of their community. Alarm notifications safely provide the solution caregivers need to accomplish the right balance of security and accessibility.
ALLOW FREEDOM & MOBILITY WITHOUT SACRIFICING SECURITY
- 60% of people with Alzheimer's or dementia will wander
- The average out of court wandering settlement is over $400,000

Wander Management FAQs
Patient safety is a primary concern for many senior living communities, healthcare facilities, and other agencies that work with high-risk patients. Resident elopements can be prevented with a reliable, user-friendly system like ResidentGuard. Minimizing elopement risk is the right thing to do, but you may need more information before you commit to securing the benefits of our resident elopement system.
Before deciding if a wander management system is right for your facility, or which solution provides the best protection, read the frequently asked questions below and discover the benefits of our wander management technology.
Accutech Healthcare Security Solutions is happy to answer any questions you have about our patient elopement solution. Feel free to contact a representative today. For your convenience, we have also answered some frequently asked questions below.
Wander behavior occurs primarily in seniors who have cognitive issues or memory loss due to a disease. For instance, an elderly adult who has Alzheimer’s disease may be experiencing symptoms of dementia. Dementia is recognizable by a senior’s diminished cognitive abilities, memory loss, confusion, forgetfulness, and other symptoms of cognitive decline (Alzheimer’s Association). Seniors who are unable to think clearly or make sound decisions can become a danger to themselves. They may wander out of a safe area of a senior living community due to confusion, stress, or anxiety. Accutech’s ResidentGuard patient elopement system grew out of the need to protect elders in a reliable, effective way. Our system is designed to help staff care for and protect residents while also allowing for patient privacy, freedom, and normalcy.
Are you comparing several different patient elopement systems to see which is right for you? Learn why you should choose ResidentGuard. The ResidentGuard system is superior to other solutions on the market, and we are the industry leader for a few reasons:
- We’ve designed comfortable, flexible, discreet bracelets that won’t fall off and come with helpful components such as the ability to turn tags on/off and verify tag numbers.
- Accutech has developed this wander management system over several decades, ensuring a stable and reliable product.
- We are singularly focused on providing solutions in the healthcare space, which means we understand the day-to-day challenges you face. We designed an all-encompassing solution with ResidentGuard that functions reliably to prevent elopements. Our system also takes into consideration the needs and concerns of the care providers.
- We made our system user-friendly because those who manage patient care, whether in a hospital or elderly care community, are busy. You don’t have time to waste learning a confusing system that is more complicated than it needs to be. The ResidentGuard system is simple, can be operated easily by staff, doesn’t require a great deal of technical support, and removes the hassle, leaving you more time to care for your patients.
Absolutely! For those who do require technical support after installation or in the future, Accutech provides 24/7 phone and remote support. Our highly trained dealers are certified to install and support the ResidentGuard product as well, so you never have to worry about the reliability of your system.
Accutech is the only manufacturer that offers a comfortable armband that resembles a fitness device rather than a medical ID tag. Our bracelets are soft, flexible, unobtrusive, and durable. The bracelet band is replaceable and the tags are reusable. With our sleek, trendy design, patients have less of an objection to wearing the ResidentGuard band.
Affordability is an important consideration when choosing a wander management system. We are dedicated to providing the best wander management security device on the market and that includes offering it at an affordable price. Every senior care facility should be able to afford to purchase the security solutions they need to protect elders in their care. The cost will vary depending on your project’s scope.
