Frequently asked questions
Does this strip actually stop wandering behavior?
Yes, it is specifically engineered as a visual deterrent. By providing a distinct, high-contrast visual cue, it helps discourage exit-seeking behaviors in individuals with cognitive impairments without the need for physical barriers.
Is this a physical barrier or just a sign?
It acts as a non-physical, psychological deterrent. It is designed to create a clear visual demarcation rather than a physical obstruction, maintaining a safer and less restrictive environment for residents.
How do I attach this to my door frame?
The Stop Strip is designed for simple and secure installation. It comes equipped with integrated mounting tabs that allow you to attach it quickly to standard door frames.
Can this be used for stairways too?
Yes, it is designed to manage wandering behaviors at both doorways and stairways, helping to guide individuals away from areas that may pose safety risks.
Is this suitable for home care settings?
Absolutely. While it is widely used in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, it is an excellent tool for residential care environments where a non-punitive wandering management solution is needed.
Is this a professional-grade product?
Yes. This is a clinical-grade intervention tool manufactured by Skil-Care, a trusted name in long-term care safety solutions.
What kind of material is the strip made of?
The strip is constructed from durable mesh fabric with a reinforced trim. This material choice ensures it remains effective while being professional and suitable for long-term use in clinical or residential environments.
Is it easy for residents to see?
The strip features high-visibility yellow mesh with a bold, solid red trim. This high-contrast design is specifically chosen to be easily recognizable to those with memory care needs.
Does it need to be used with other devices?
It is a highly effective standalone tool, but it is often recommended as part of a comprehensive safety plan. It pairs very well with other systems like floor mats or door alarms to provide layered support for memory care patients.
Is the material see-through?
The strip is made of a semi-translucent mesh. While it allows for slight visibility through the fabric, it maintains a bold and consistent presence to serve its function as a clear visual boundary.
