For the safety and security of our patients, we use Safe Place®, a state of the art security system that uses transmitter bands to control unauthorized departure of patients from the unit while allowing open access for staff and visitors. The doors to our unit are always closed, but are not locked.

Every patient under age 12 will be fitted with an ankle or wrist band that has a transmitter inside. If a patient gets too close to a protected doorway, the door will automatically lock. If a patient passes through a protected doorway or if an ankle or wrist band is tampered with, an alarm will sound.
