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
