Wandering Alarms for the Elderly

Help those you care for to remain independent for longer with the knowledge that if they do wander you will be immediately alerted and able to locate them when you need to.

People with dementia are particularly vulnerable to wandering around or away from their home at all times of day. This may result in a fall, locking themselves out in the cold or finding themselves in an area they do not recognise some distance from home.

Wandering alarms and location devices can help carers to prevent this kind of risk by monitoring the whereabouts of people in their care at all times, including those living with learning disabilities. A door alarm sensor or wander alert are just two of a range of products designed to meet this need. GPS technology has also evolved to provide a series of dementia wandering alarms. Possibly used in combination with a door alarm sensor, a GPS watch wandering alarm can locate a vulnerable person once they have left their home. A door sensor or other form of wander alarm is important because it indicates that someone has entered a space that could put them at risk.

Typically, wandering alarms will notify a relative or carer that a vulnerable person is moving around unexpectedly and that they may need to attend the scene. A wandering alarm is often linked to a pager that the carer carries at all times. Wandering alarms can be an essential asset when caring for the elderly or vulnerable.
