Care Centers, hosting special needs residents, share their families' concerns of wandering which is the most common implication of dementia. HomeFree On-Site performs real time, wireless monitoring of residents in various types of facilities and their surroundings. The system divides the premises into virtual, user-defined areas for an indication of the residents location.

Innovative Personal Watcher™
HomeFree Personal Watcher™ is a uniquely designed wristwatch worn by the residents. It continuously sends a silent signal to the Wireless Monitoring Base Unit.

- Band removal and cut-band alarms

Simple Installation & Operation
HomeFree On-Site systems are wireless and easy to install. HomeFree wall mounted Wireless Monitoring Units enable monitoring of facilities of various shapes and sizes including porches and outdoor areas.
Personal Watchers™, worn by residents, continuously send silent signals through the wireless network to the Wireless Monitoring Base Unit for processing and distribution of alerts to staff pagers. The Wireless Monitoring Base Unit runs over a standard computer, featuring a user friendly software.
When a resident leaves or enters a restricted area or approaches designated exits, the system automatically alerts staff members by pagers. Similar alerts are induced upon removal of the Personal Watcher.
