Wander risk and elopements push nursing homes to upgrade security
The Alzheimer's Association highlights resident wandering as a serious risk with 125000 annual search and rescue missions. Two Iowa nursing homes faced heavy fines for elopements, Rose Haven and Willow Gardens, upgrading to Door Guardian and other measures. Staff training and workforce retention are cited as key to reducing wander incidents and improving safety for dementia patients.
