FAQ
What is senior living safety RTLS?
Senior living safety RTLS is a real-time location system designed for assisted living, memory care, and senior care facilities. It monitors resident location continuously, alerts staff when a resident approaches a restricted area or exit, and supports faster emergency response across the facility.
How does RTLS prevent wandering in senior living facilities?
Each resident wears a lightweight tag. The system tracks their location in real time against predefined boundaries. If a resident moves toward an exit, restricted zone, or unsafe area, staff receive an instant alert with the resident’s exact location so they can respond before an incident occurs.
What is the difference between wandering and elopement in senior care?
Wandering refers to a resident moving around the facility in an unplanned or disoriented way, which can lead to falls or entry into unsafe areas. Elopement is when a resident leaves the facility entirely without authorization. Both are serious safety risks, particularly for residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s. RTLS addresses both by monitoring movement continuously and triggering alerts at defined boundaries.
How does RTLS support staff in senior living facilities?
RTLS reduces the supervision burden on caregivers by monitoring all residents automatically in the background. Staff receive alerts only when intervention is needed, which reduces reactive running across the facility and allows caregivers to focus on direct care. It also supports faster emergency response by showing the exact location of any resident who needs assistance.
Can RTLS help with fall detection in senior care?
Yes. Immobility detection and unusual movement patterns can be configured as alert triggers. If a resident remains motionless in an unexpected location for longer than a set threshold, the system can alert staff to check on them, supporting faster response to potential fall incidents.
How does senior living RTLS give families peace of mind?
Families of residents, particularly those with cognitive conditions, often worry about safety between visits. RTLS gives facilities the ability to provide documented evidence of resident safety monitoring, respond faster to incidents, and reduce the risk of elopement events that cause distress for both families and staff.
Can the system integrate with nurse call and access control?
Yes. Litum’s platform integrates with nurse call systems and access control platforms to create a coordinated response when an alert is triggered. Doors can be locked automatically and call lists activated, enabling a facility-wide response without manual coordination.
Can the same RTLS platform support other use cases in the facility?
Yes. The same infrastructure supports staff duress, wander management, emergency mustering, and asset tracking, all without requiring separate systems for each use case.
