The tendency to wander is prevalent among people that are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. People with Downs syndrome, Autism and traumatic brain injury also exhibit this tendency.

A lost person with Alzheimer’s or a related illness or injury represents a critical medical emergency. It is estimated that 59% of people with these illnesses will wander and become lost.

An elderly patient left outside for more than 24 hours will have their survival rate cut in half. Efforts to intervene and locate them to prevent a tragedy are often frustrated by the patient’s inability or unwillingness to communicate with rescuers. Traditional search methods rely on the ability of the lost person to respond to the calls of the searchers. Project Care Track is designed to give an “electronic” voice to those who can’t communicate. It becomes the life link to the patient and allows the search to end quickly and successful in many cases. It is the safety net that can give a caregiver great peace of mind.

Each client wears a one ounce electronic bracelet that emits a unique radio signal around the clock, 24 hours a day. When needed, a call to 911 brings a unique highly trained and experienced team that can track the radio signal and who has special training in working with patients who are struggling with these illnesses and conditions.
