Watch Mate Protection you can count on
You're
running a care facility not a security facility. Let the proven technology of
the
WatchMate system take the responsibility of door watching from your staff so
they can concentrate on what matters most: taking the best care of the residents
in your charge.
With the WatchMate system, protection is simple and reliable.
The
WatchMate system is designed to protect a wandering resident from leaving a
facility undetected and becoming lost or injured. Such residents typically have
been diagnosed with dementia, Alzheimer's etc., or have suffered a head injury.
At-risk residents wear a small
Watchlet
bracelet on their wrist or ankle, and points of exit are discreetly secured
by WatchMate
monitors. When a resident approaches a door, the WatchMate system can
activate a magnetic lock to temporarily lock the door or sound an alarm if the
doorway is open.
The result is peace of mind for everyone—residents, their families and your
staff—without restricting movements within your facility.
Possible Applications:
- Nursing Homes
- Geriatric and psychiatric wards
- Adult day services centers
- Rehabilitation and assisted living facilities
- Development centers
Thousands of nursing homes, hospitals, long term care, and assisted living
facilities rely on the WatchMate system to protect their residents who have a
tendency to wander.
"I was impressed with the WatchMate system when I first saw it.
Now that we’ve upgraded our facility with the WatchMate system, I’m even more
impressed. It has performed flawlessly since the day it was installed in 1997.
The Watchlet bracelets take quite a beating and just keep working. I can’t say
enough about how well the WatchMate system has exceeded our expectations. It was
also within
my budget, flexible to our needs and easy to install."

Click
Image to Enlarge - The WatchMate system consists of a
Watchlet
bracelet worn on the resident's wrist or ankle and a
monitor
installed above a protected door, zone or elevator.
If a monitored resident approaches an open door, an alarm will immediately
sound. The addition of magnetic door locks that can be activated by the
WatchMate system will ensure residents cannot exit the building.
The monitor's detection area can be adjusted to fit a variety of openings,
from extra wide hallways to outdoor areas.
To clear an alarm, staff can either enter a pass code on the keypad or use
the
WatchMate escort key. The escort key also allows staff to quickly bypass a
protected area in the company of a monitored resident.
Depending on the model, alarm information can be displayed at the alarm
location and/or sent to central nurses stations that are equipped with WatchMate
controllers
or annunciators.
