Wander Guard Management Systems

The rate of people suffering from Alzheimer’s in the United States could triple by the year 2050–from 5 million to about 13.8 million. Wander management systems give Alzheimer’s, dementia and other “at-risk” residents the ability to move freely about their facilities while receiving the protection they need, and their families want, at a lower total cost of ownership to you.

Special Care Systems has over 20 years of experience as a certified installer of wander management systems for senior living facilities and hospitals. Our services encompass design, integration, installation, training and comprehensive support for a diverse range of environments.

The ResidentGuard solution provides flexible and reliable wander management protection that seamlessly integrates with your community’s security protocols.

With a contemporary design and robust, scalable solutions, WanderGuard BLUE provides peace of mind to senior living facilities.

Low UHF Frequency

Our advanced resident monitoring systems employ robust RF interference shielding for long-term reliability. Each monitoring tag operates using a specialized frequency within a protected UHF band, featuring limited commercial access. The proprietary identification coding within the RFID technology, combined with our strategic frequency selection, creates an exceptionally dependable monitoring solution that significantly reduces false alarm occurrences..

Patient Monitoring Devices

Our comfortable devices resemble a fitness wearable and can be easily cleaned on an as-needed basis. These patient monitoring devices are more dignified and discreet for the residents rather than the institutional bracelets that many competitive wander management solutions offer. The tag can also be turned on or off at any time to conserve battery.

Electronic Monitoring Tags

Essential to any monitoring system are the personal devices users wear to enable timely alerts when necessary. These devices allow staff to activate/deactivate units, confirm identification numbers, check warranty information, and monitor battery status through an integrated digital display.

Why Choose Special Care Systems as Your Wander Management System Provider?

There are many reasons why facilities choose to install or upgrade their security systems with Special Care Systems: lower total cost of ownership, advanced features, lower rate of false alarms, full compliance, and the most comprehensive customer support program in the industry.

✓ Flexibility

With both stand-alone or software-based systems, our wander guard systems give you the flexibility that comes from industry-leading features, enabling your staff to spend more time caring for residents and less time managing systems. The system enhances employee productivity by providing real-time notifications for immediate issue detection.

✓ Reliability

Our monitoring solutions are one of the most interference-free systems on the market, using technology that minimizes interference from other devices and reduces false alarms. Mobile phones, lighting ballasts, floor buffers and other sources of general electromagnetic interference can hinder the function of RFID. However, RFID products operate at a unique frequency on the edge of a range available only to the Department of Defense.

✓ Integration

Our wander guard alert systems can be easily integrated with nurse calls, electronic access control (EAC), closed-circuit television (CCTV), fall detection and other existing security mechanisms within your facility. The seamless integration of call and wander systems into smartphones also ensures swift response, saving valuable time throughout the day.

✓ Comprehensive Support

All systems are manufactured in the United States and are backed by the industry’s most comprehensive customer support program – including 24-hour technical support and a full one-year warranty.
