Keep Those Who Wander Safe

Project Lifesaver helps save lives and reduce potential injury for adults and children who wander due to:

  • Alzheimer's
  • Autism
  • Dementia
  • Down Syndrome
  • Other related disorders

Each Project Lifesaver participant wears a personalized bracelet that emits a tracking signal, which enables trained rescue personnel to quickly locate them. In the last 18 years over 3,000 searches have been performed with a 100% success rate.
