patient could wear that would send off a signal if they go too far?
links? or info? TIA,best wishes to you all.

the systems i've seen used here can be opened by anyone NOT
wearing the bracelet/pendant/watch/pin. they also usually have
overrides with a regular door key or a number keypad.

Just bumping this -- does anyone have experience with the wandercare
unit (or a similiar unit, the caretrak 100?) Would the orginal poster
mind sharing feedback about what they think of it after they looked
into it? I would like some kind of feedback and ideas on it's
strengths and weaknesses before I buy it, so if you are also evaluating
it I (& others perhpas) would appreciate you sharing your thoghts
publically, maybe there is somethign you've thought of that I haven't.
Thanks.
