SOLUTIONS / WANDER MANAGEMENT
Support freedom of movement. Know when to respond.
Help protect residents at monitored exits and give caregivers useful location context. DCC brings wander alerts into the same response workflow as nurse call, helping teams support daily life in memory care and senior living.
DOOR PROTECTION & LOCATION
Two complementary ways to support residents.
Match the solution to the resident’s needs and the spaces they use, from specific exits to location awareness across covered areas.
Door protection
Protection at monitored doors
Accutech ResidentGuard uses wearable tags and door equipment to detect a tagged resident approaching a protected exit. Connect this wander management system to DCC for caregiver notification and response tracking.
- A tagged resident is detected at the protected exit
- The door alarm reaches the right caregivers in DCC
- Every event is time-stamped for review
Location awareness
Location awareness within the community
Compatible location wearables and locating infrastructure help caregivers understand where a resident needs support. Add location-based alerts where supported by the selected system and site design.
- Alerts arrive with the resident’s location
- Supported pendants keep a live last-known location
- Coverage is planned around the spaces residents use
FROM ALERT TO ACTION
Turn a door event into a coordinated response.
Bring door alerts to the people responsible for the area, with a clear escalation path.
- 01
Detect
A resident’s tag is detected at a monitored door. The door system raises an event according to its configured settings.
- 02
Notify
DCC delivers the door alarm to assigned caregivers on supported devices, identifying the monitored exit that needs attention.
- 03
Respond
Staff acknowledge the alert and assist the resident. Configured escalation rules notify additional responders if the alarm is not accepted.
- 04
Review
The alarm and response history give supervisors a record of what happened and when, supporting follow-up and workflow review.
EVERYDAY MOVEMENT
Make room for routines, visitors and accompanied outings.
Plan monitored boundaries around community life and the people who use them.
Discreet resident wearables
Choose compatible wrist or ankle tags, including waterproof options, to suit the resident and their daily routine.
Staff-assisted passage
ResidentGuard escort keypads allow authorized staff to accompany a resident through a monitored door without triggering a wander alarm.
Door control where needed
Optional door hardware can support controlled access. Review each opening, escort process and release arrangement as part of the project design.
LOCATION & OVERSIGHT
Give your team a shared view of resident safety.
Connect the door event, the response and the information needed for follow-up.
Alerts alongside nurse call
Wander events reach caregivers through the DCC workflow they use for resident calls, with priorities and escalation paths suited to your team.
A history you can investigate
Review alarm times, delivery attempts, acceptance and closure. Supervisors can ask the AI assistant what happened during a wander event and get the full timeline in one answer.
Visibility across communities
Authorized leaders can access multiple sites through one account, review activity and manage settings remotely. Role-based access controls who can see and change information.
PLAN YOUR COVERAGE
Start with the residents, routes and response team.
A site review turns your priorities into an equipment and response plan.
Map the monitored areas
Identify exits, shared spaces and the areas where residents may need added support. Review existing door equipment and potential integration points.
Define the staff response
Agree who receives each alert, how backup is notified and how staff accompany residents through monitored doors.
Connect to your wider system
Use ResidentGuard on its own or integrate its door alarms with DCC. Review compatibility and location coverage before selecting equipment.

Wander management works best when doors, wearables and staff response are planned as one design.
