Safety Features

Alzheimer's patients can become at-risk of wandering. This can be both hazardous and fatal if they become disoriented in unfamiliar settings, so caregivers need to make every effort possible to intercept a wandering patient before they step outside a safe perimeter. Some products offer audible and visual alarms which notify caregivers to their loved one's movements, while other systems use motion sensors which detect when your loved one enters certain rooms or hallways; others still include GPS technology that allows monitoring center staff to view someone's location so they can direct them back home if necessary.


When selecting a wander management system, inquire into its accuracy of technology. Make sure they use tags protected from interference from cell phones and floor buffers to avoid false alarms and identify specific residents by their tag number or name. Also inquire into how easily staff can configure and operate it day-to-day - some systems come equipped with mobile app integration for ease of management; quality technical support as well as local service are important factors to keep in mind when making this choice.
Easy to Operate

Wandering is a common symptom of dementia patients and it can create anxiety for both patient and caregiver. Caregivers may feel stress over constantly fearing they'll lose someone they love - leading to caregiver burnout or depression in some cases. No one can monitor dementia patients 24/7 so door alarms for elderly patients help reduce this risk.

personal medical alarms Door sensors for elderly patients offer an alternative to loud and disruptive electronic alerts that may startle dementia patients and increase agitation; door sensors for elderly patients can either remain silent or emit low audible chirps that will not startle or distress dementia patients. Some systems even allow caregivers to program personalized voice alerts that soothe and comfort patients - helping reduce false alarms and making caregiving less stressful!

Personal wandering alarms that use motion or proximity detection are an excellent way to protect a loved one who is likely to wander from their room or safe zone in the home. Some devices, like the Lunderg bed pad, distinguish between rolling over in bed and getting up from it in order to avoid setting off an alarm; other monitors, like SafeWander monitor, send alerts directly to caregiver smartphones instead of pagers with information such as which room should be checked first.
Easy to Install

Cornell Wander Management Systems make a smart investment for both residents and patients by being easy to install, manage, and utilize for facility-wide protection that works for everyone.

Sixty percent of seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia tend to wander, which can put caregivers and loved ones at risk of injuries should they not catch them quickly enough.

We provide various solutions to prevent wandering, such as door and window sensors that activate an alarm when opened, as well as wireless receivers which can be carried in your pocket or holster so you can respond promptly if need be.

Sensors attached to bed or chair frames that detect when someone stands up can also alert caregivers when someone attempts to leave or exit a room or home. In combination with pressure sensitive pads on floor mats, these sensors provide early warning systems of when someone leaves a home unintentionally or unlawfully.

For large facilities, a central monitoring unit offers convenient monitoring of up to 99 components from one central location with on-screen information on each triggered device. Add-on door/motion sensors, remote pagers, and alarm monitors can expand coverage of doors/windows/hallways/rooms with more complex designs.
Low Cost

Wandering is an especially common issue among seniors living with dementia. Six out of ten individuals living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia will wander at least once, sometimes repeatedly; this poses serious danger both to themselves and family members who find it impossible to monitor them 24 hours a day.

There are solutions available to caregivers that can help protect against losing track of their loved ones. Wandering alarms are an ideal solution that can be installed both at home and care facilities to notify caregivers when someone exits a bedroom, bathroom or monitored area such as an open door or motion sensors; additionally they feature a remote monitor which sends out text/SMS alerts as well as providing identification details like name and photo to identify who may have left a room or hallway.

Some systems can lock doors or rooms to prevent residents from leaving the premises, as well as provide real-time location monitoring with GPS to allow caregiving staff to know exactly where their patients are at any given time. This feature can be particularly beneficial in medical care facilities as it reduces wait time before patients need to be checked again; additionally it allows multiple patients to be monitored simultaneously so if one gets out of bed while another one goes into the bathroom they both know immediately and can respond appropriately.
