Possibly pin to the back of her
clothes. We also put around ankles. Hope this helps.
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
