You’ve decided to purchase a wander management solution to protect your residents, but your next decision isn’t as easy: choosing the right wander management solution to fit your facility’s needs. Different vendors offer different services, functionality, pricing and more. Few important features to consider when evaluating potential solutions.
Delivery/Installation
- Delivery typically takes at least a week, but installation also plays a part in the time it takes to get up and running.
- Be sure to ask if delivery and installation are included in your purchase price, or are separate charges (include this in your pricing comparison among vendors).
- It is highly recommended to let the vendor install your equipment, or to use vendor-recommended installers.
Power Source/ Maintenance
- Evaluate the power source of each potential system.
Is power centralized or local? Is battery backup available if there’s a power outage? - Consider annual maintenance needs and costs, including replacing batteries or transmitters.
- Expect your wander management system to have a 10-year lifespan, on average, although technology upgrades and other factors may change that.
Additional Considerations
- Consider purchasing the most technologically advanced solution, as technology advances quickly and you want your solution to be as current and effective as possible.
- Don’t limit your wander management to just monitoring doors or other “escape” routes. Also consider monitoring areas residents should not be.
- Wander management systems are either Wi-Fi or RF, BLE or a combo of all three. Each offers its own benefits and downfalls, so research what is best for your facility before purchasing.
