Project Lifesaver is a
new non-profit police organization that locates wandering victims of
Alzheimer's disease and special-needs kids using electronic tracking.
Your columns devoted to dementia prompted me to write, since our
service allows seniors to remain at home longer and gives much-needed
stress reduction to their caregivers.
To date, Project Lifesaver has
located 878 people in an average rescue time of 19 to 20 minutes. There
have been no deaths or injuries, and everyone reported missing has been
located. According to the National Alzheimer's Association, an average
of 32,000 people wander away from homes and nursing homes each year.
Those at risk of wandering wear a
1-ounce wrist transmitter that emits a radio tracking signal 24/7. When
caregivers discover their loved one is missing, they call 911, and
Project Lifesaver-trained police officers respond to locate the person
quickly.
The system works day or night,
inside or outside. The price for the service through the police
department ranges from free to $35 per month, depending on financial
need. Project Lifesaver is currently in about 200 police departments.
Caregivers interested in Project
Lifesaver for their community should contact their local police or
sheriff's department and ask them to contact me at the Chesapeake,Va.,
Sheriff's SAR Unit at (757) 546-5502. Thank you.
CHIEF GENE SAUNDERS,
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, PROJECT LIFESAVER
