01
How do senior living communities prevent wandering?

Senior living communities use advanced wander management solutions like Code Alert® to help keep residents safe and secure. The system discreetly monitors at-risk residents and detects when someone approaches or attempts an exit, allowing staff to respond quickly and efficiently. This proactive approach reduces risks, preserves dignity, and supports a calm environment for everyone.

02
What is wander management?

Wander management refers to the use of technology and processes to monitor and protect residents who are at risk of wandering or elopement. Code Alert®, provides real-time location monitoring, discreet transmitters, and seamless integration to ensure residents remain safe while promoting mobility and independence. Code Alert’s wander management mission is to empower a safer world—one resident at a time.

03
How do elopement prevention systems work?

Elopement prevention systems like Code Alert® utilize wrist or ankle transmitters that are water-resistant, tamper-resistant, and available in decorative designs for comfort and adherence. When a resident at risk approaches an exit, the Touchpad Exit Controller (TEC) triggers exit locks and alerts staff. This ensures quick action, prevents unauthorized exits, and maintains resident safety without disrupting workflow.

Can wander management systems reduce liability?

Yes, implementing a reliable wander management system such as Code Alert® significantly reduces liability for senior living communities. Discreet monitoring and timely alerts help prevent incidents before they occur, while durable devices and seamless coverage both indoors and outdoors ensure comprehensive protection. By proactively safeguarding residents, communities can demonstrate their commitment to safety and compliance, mitigating potential risks.
