Wander Management Systems

Home » Products » Wander Management Systems

TekTone‘s Tek-CARE700 system lets dementia and at-risk residents move freely about your facility, while preventing them from wandering off. The Tek-CARE700 can connect simultaneously to any TekTone nurse call system and a variety of foreign systems, such as fire alarm and security. The system can also help to prevent expensive equipment from leaving your facility.

The Tek-CARE700 Wander Management System gives Alzheimer’s, dementia and other at-risk residents the ability to move freely about your facility while receiving the protection they need. It allows staff to easily manage residents who might otherwise wander off or stray into dangerous areas, without impeding the movement of staff and visitors.

Tek-CARE700 provides resident ID, loiter and door-ajar monitoring, low tag battery and several more alerts. It runs on our proprietary Tek-CARE Appliance Server, which can connect simultaneously to any TekTone nurse call system and a variety of foreign systems, such as fire alarm and security systems.

The Tek-CARE Appliance Server displays alarms, calls, events and messages from all connected systems at once. Plus, up to nine networked PCs can view all system events as they occur using our exclusive Tek-CARE Event Monitor App for Windows.

The Tek-CARE700 system includes a door controller and keypad next to each monitored door, and a magnetic switch mounted to the door and doorframe. A maglock can be added to automatically lock the door when a resident is nearby.

The door controller emits a wireless transmit field, and when a resident wearing a wireless tag enters the transmit field, the door controller detects the tag. An alarm is displayed on the Tek-CARE Appliance Server and event monitors, plus Tek-CARE400 nurses’ master stations. The Tek-CARE Appliance Server and event monitors can also display the resident’s name, photo, and other custom information.

Depending upon configuration, the system will also automatically sound an alarm, lock the door, deactivate elevator doors, and flash lights. Alarms clear automatically when residents leave the transmit field. To escort a resident through the door, the staff member enters a reset code into the keypad to clear the alarm and unlock the door.

Door controllers can monitor almost any type of building egress, including single and double doors, elevator doors, and automatic doors. In addition, a motion detector can be used to monitor entire hallways, elevator lobbies, or other open spaces.

Add our Tek-CARE reporting software to the Tek-CARE Appliance Server to create activity reports for the Tek-CARE700 — plus any connected system, including resident wander, nurse call, and alert integration. Reports can be filtered by device, time and day, location and event type, and are easily exported to a spreadsheet. Administrative team members can create reports from any computer on your facility’s network. Reports can also be created and emailed to selected recipients automatically.

The Tek-CARE700 wander management system conforms to the UL® 294 Standard for Access Control System Units.

Tek-CARE700 is sold through regional TekTone Elite Partners. To request more information, call our Sales Department at 800.327.8466, option 2, or use our Contact Us form.

A family-owned business committed to providing quality intercommunication solutions at competitive prices, supported by conscientious customer service, for the Health CareResidential, and Commercial markets.

Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) are health care facilities that offer patients the convenience of having surgeries and procedures performed safely outside the hospital setting. This trend in healthcare is a growing new market and TekTone has designed our systems to offer valuable nurse and emergency call capabilities to ASC patients.

ASC

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC), also known as Life Plan Communities, are designed for seniors who are currently living independently, but want the safety and security of being cared for as they age without having to relocate. As a resident’s health declines, he or she may transition from an independent living residence to assisted living, to an intermediate or skilled nursing facility—all on one campus. TekTone offers systems specialized in adapting to the changing needs of CCRCs, while keeping resident’s safety and security a top priority.

CCRC

A skilled nursing facility (nursing home, convalescent home, care home or rest home) provides a place of residence for those who require continuous nursing attention. Services available in skilled nursing facilities include assistance of nurses, nursing aides and assistants; physical, occupational and speech therapists; social workers, recreational assistants; and living space. In some instances, residents may reside in skilled nursing facilities to receive rehabilitation or other therapy following an illness or accident.

SKILLED NURSING

Assisted living / independent living facilities usually have a campus-wide call system so a resident can notify caregivers by initiating a call from a personal pendant or emergency button press/pull. The systems specified for these types of facilities are usually referred to as emergency call systems or personal emergency response systems. Call system requirements in assisted/independent living vary, but may be mandatory in some states. Assisted living facilities may prefer a combination of Tek-CARE wireless and wired technology, with pull-cord stations, call buttons and wireless pendants to ensure staff members are notified efficiently and quickly.

ASSISTED LIVING

Nurse call systems for hospitals, microhospitals and cancer centers must offer more than the ability for a patient to call for a nurse. These systems are now about total solutions to improving facility performance. Performance is identified as improving efficiency in terms of facility goals (rounding, reducing time to answer calls, tracking staff performance using metrics), improving staff satisfaction, and improving patient satisfaction.

HOSPITAL INFO

Nurse call systems in high security facilities, such as psychiatric and behavioral health facilities, require the implementation of advanced features to protect against vandalism and to provide accurate monitoring and reporting options.

PSYCHIATRIC & BEHAVIORAL

TekTone‘s National Accounts Program is specifically structured for organizations that have multiple facilities. Whether you are a local, regional or national organization, our national account program provides you with high quality healthcare communications and a world-class service network.

With the Alert Integration Manager, these systems can be integrated to display calls at one convenient location, as well as provide customized management reports.
