Location-Based Accuracy With Geofencing

Take resident safety to even greater heights. With real-time location monitoring, automatically calculate resident location and receive immediate notifications when a resident wanders into an unexpected area of your community. Geofencing capabilities enable staff to define boundaries without doors, or establish special areas in your community where wandering residents should and should not be. You can even define temporary areas like activity rooms and schedule designated hours of enhanced protection.

“Virtual” memory care

Create “virtually bounded areas” within a community for memory care residents and automatically notify caregivers if the resident leaves the area.

Area designation

Assign a resident to a specific area of the facility (i.e. assisted living wing, memory care wing, independent living wing) and receive notification if they leave their designated area.

Temporary monitoring

Assign a resident temporarily to an area, like a courtyard or activity room, and receive notification if they leave the area.

Visitor management

Quickly locate a resident to meet with a visitor.

"Providing location of residents and geofencing makes this wander protection solution ideal."
