Date: July 10, 2026

Every new Zemplee member is set up with the default alert and profile settings below. These defaults are designed to keep every member safe from day one while avoiding unnecessary alert volume for your care team.

Every setting on these pages can be customized — by member, and by which user or family contact receives it — at any time. Your Zemplee account manager can help you tailor any of these to your community's needs.

Day & Night Definitions

These times define what Zemplee considers daytime vs. nighttime for bed, chair, and activity alerts.

Setting Default
Day Starts At 6:00 AM
Night Starts At 8:00 PM

 

Motion & Presence Alerts

Motion Alerts cannot be turned off. However, how alerts are delivered — by text or email — can be customized for every user and family contact assigned to a member.

Alert What It Does Default
No Activity Detected Alerts if no sensor activity is detected ON  —  Day: 30 min / Night: 30 min

 

Door & Elopement Alerts

These settings monitor exterior doors and notify caregivers if a member leaves the home unexpectedly.

Alert What It Does Default
Elopement – Out of Home Alerts when a member leaves the home OFF
Door Left Open (Day) Alerts if a door is left open ON  —  15 min
Door Left Open (Night) Alerts if a door is left open ON  —  10 min

 

Memory Care Recommendation

Elopement – Out of Home ships OFF by default across all Zemplee communities. Because wandering is a leading safety concern in memory care settings, we recommend turning this alert ON for your community — your account manager can enable it before go-live.

 

Bed & Chair Exit Alerts

These alerts notify caregivers when a member gets up from a bed or chair, helping prevent unassisted falls.

Alert What It Does Default
Sit-Up Alert Detects sit-up movement (requires 2 bed sensors) OFF
Bed Exit Alerts when a member exits bed ON
Chair Exit Alerts when a member exits a chair ON
Escalation Interval Time before an unresolved alert escalates ON  —  15 min

 

“Stuck” Alerts (Still in Bed or Chair)

These alerts flag when a member has remained in bed or in a chair longer than expected, which can indicate a fall, a medical event, or simply an extended rest.

Stuck in Bed

Setting Day Night
Alert Enabled ON ON
Time Threshold 5 hrs 10 hrs

 

Stuck in Chair

Setting Day Night
Alert Enabled ON ON
Time Threshold 3 hrs 10 hrs

 

Bedtime Compliance Alerts

These settings track whether a member is up and out of bed, or back in bed, by the expected times each day.

Setting Default Notes
Out of Bed By 8:00 AM Alert always sends if this time is not met
In Bed By 10:00 PM Updates the PM Quick Check if not met; always enforced

 

Return-to-Bed Alerts

When enabled, this feature tracks a member's path from bed to another room (such as the bathroom) and back, alerting caregivers if the return trip takes longer than expected.

Setting Default
Return-to-Bed Alert OFF
Path Type Roundtrip or One Way (Roundtrip default)
Pathway Sequence Configured per member (sensors from bed to bathroom and back)

 

Bed Turn Schedule

For members at risk of pressure injuries, this schedule reminds staff to reposition the member at set times throughout the day.

Setting Default
Bed Turn Schedule OFF
Time Buffer None
Morning Window 6:00 AM – 8:00 AM
Afternoon Window 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Evening Window 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Night Window 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

 

Dining Schedule

Tracks whether meals are being served and consumed on schedule.

Meal Default Window
Dining Schedule ON
Breakfast 6:00 AM – 8:00 AM
Lunch 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Snack 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Dinner 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

 

Health Alerts (Vitals)

When enabled, vitals alerts can use standard clinical thresholds or custom values defined by the care team.

Alert Type Default
Vitals Not Received OFF
Blood Pressure OFF
Weight OFF
Temperature OFF
Oxygen Saturation OFF

 

Key Takeaway for New Customers

Most activity-based safety alerts are ON by default.

Most health/vitals alerts are OFF by default and are enabled based on the member's care plan.

This balance ensures safety from day one while avoiding unnecessary clinical alert volume.
