Accutech Security’s Residentguard Wander Management System
Our system uses a specialized “wander wearable” bracelet to monitor residents’ movements and ensure their safety. Our bracelet is focused on keeping residents secure while maintaining their dignity and comfort. Its discreet design resembles a wearable fitness band that is sleeker and trendier than others on the market.
The wearable wander guard bracelet can be integrated with a resident’s security system to alert caregivers when residents have wandered from the protected zone.

ResidentGuard Features
Accutech’s “wander wearable” is a less institutional, waterproof, wearable style device designed exclusively for its wander management solution, ResidentGuard. The wristband/tag combination protects wander-prone residents when used in combination with alarms and other security features.
The tag test station gives current and future users the ability to see the remaining battery life and warranty date on any resident tags. The tag test station also allows users to see the tag program number, battery percentage and has a field for notes.
The ID-TAD (Identification-Tag Activator/Deactivator) is a handheld device that brings additional functionality to all Accutech systems. Staff can turn tags on/off, verify tag numbers, review warranty dates and check remaining battery life from an LCD screen.The ID-TAD is rechargeable via a lithium-ion battery.
All ResidentGuard systems are shielded against RF interference for the life of the system. Each tag operates at a unique frequency (418 MHz) on the edge of a range available only to the Department of Defense. The embedded ID code on the RFID chip in addition to the unusual frequency it is transmitted on combine to make ResidentGuard the most reliable wander management system available—minimizing the problem of false alarms.

Wander Management FAQs
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.
At Accutech, we understand that technical issues can arise with any system, no matter how advanced it may be. That's why we offer 24/7 phone and remote support for our Wander Prevention System, ensuring that our customers receive the assistance they need whenever they need it.
Our certified dealers are highly trained to install and support your ResidentGuard product, giving you the peace of mind that your system is reliable and functioning properly. We value our customers and make sure they receive the best technical support possible.
When it comes to wearable technology in healthcare, comfort is key. That's why Acutech takes pride in providing a solution that goes beyond a medical ID tag. Our ResidentGuard wander bracelets are soft, flexible, and unobtrusive, making them far more comfortable for patients to wear than traditional options.
Our sleek design resembles that of a fitness device, rather than a medical accessory, which reduces the stigma and anxiety that can come with such devices. Plus, with replacement bands and reusable tags, our bracelets are also durable and cost-effective. At Acutech, we aim to prioritize patient comfort and experience, and the ResidentGuard wander bracelets are just one example of how we're doing it.
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.
