Another thing you could try would be to
have family give it to her as a gift. That has worked a few times for
me.

We have decorated the
wanderquard to look like a watch/bracelet, works some of the time but not
all.

I need some advice. We have a resident that has never been an
elopement risk until last Friday....and our social worker told her that
she should get some fresh air so what does she do.....yep you guessed
it....walked out the front door and got about 20 feet into the parking
lot before a staff member could catch up with her. She tried to go
out the front door one more time that afternoon but was
redirected. we placed a wanderguard on here and she removed
it....was able actually break the plastic strap that holds the
wanderguard on.. This was found when we were doing our q shift
wanderguard placement checks...so replaced that....she removed it
again. This has gone on now for 3 days where we replace the
bracelet and she is able to get it off no matter where we put it.
We are at our wits end ...Have thought of trying to use dental floss as
that is not able to be stretched or broken...have thought about safety
pinning it to here but she would be able to remove that as she is
independ. with adls. She has short term memory loss, expressive
aphasia, UAL independently without assistive devices. Any
suggestions would be appreciate and thanks in advance
