EmailIdentification Bracelets
For the safety of clients, all Apotex centre residents are required to wear identification bracelets. Upon admission you will be given a plastic, disposable bracelet that will be replaced later by a more attractive metal bracelet.
Colour-coded bracelets make it easier for staff to identify which floor you live on and how they can best meet your needs.
A yellow bracelet insert tells staff that a resident needs assistance with eating.
An orange electronic bracelet identifies residents considered to be at high risk for unsafe wandering, or who may have difficulty finding the way back to their room. These special electronic bracelets prevent elevators from moving between floors and also control sliding doors so the resident is unable to exit certain areas. (A manual override feature is available in the elevators and beside certain doors so visitors and caregivers can enter accompanied by a resident who is wearing such a security bracelet.)
Note to family and visitors: If you find an unaccompanied person wearing an orange bracelet, please be a good neighbour and alert a staff member, contact the communications desk in our complex at 416-785-2500 ext. 2130, or kindly accompany the person back to his/ her floor.
